Try a clean install. This are the proceedings:

1. Close Sublime Text.
2. Backup your whole Sublime Text data folder. (see here where your data folder is)
3. Delete the data folder.
4. Open Sublime Text and Install the Package Manager.
5. Wait it be completely installed (some times it ask you to restart 1 or several times, then just do it until finish all restarts).
6. Close Sublime Text.
7. (Note) The data folder you just deleted (YOUR_DATA_FOLDER), was just recreated by Sublime Text.
8. Inside your data folder, create the folder YOUR_DATA_FOLDER/Packages/User
9. From your data backup folder, copy the following folder contents:
   BACKUP_FOLDER/Packages/User to YOUR_DATA_FOLDER/Packages/User
10. Open the file YOUR_DATA_FOLDER/Packages/User/Package Control.sublime-settings (not open/use Sublime Text to edit).
11. Remove your packages from the “in_process_packages” array, and add them to the "installed_packages" array. Do not forget to add the comma after the last package on the array "installed_packages", before merging them. If the array "installed_packages" does not exist, just create one.
12. Open Sublime Text and it should start installing all your packages.

I do this clean install all the time, but it take less steps. All my settings are saved on a git repository. You may see how it is: https://github.com/evandrocoan/SublimeTextStudio#installation

[wbond]

Can you post the contents of User/Package Control.sublime-settings? It seems perhaps one of your settings was converted to an invalid data type.

[wbond]

Try a clean install.

I think we can figure this out without blowing away everything. In fact, I’d prefer that because then we can make Package Control more robust.

It seems it is in read-only mode. (thanks for helping out, btw):

That looks like the default settings. I need the contents of Packages/User/Package Control.sublime-settings, which contains your user settings. That file won’t have any comments in it since it is written programatically.

Should I start thinking about a clean install?

[addons_zz]

I think we can figure this out without blowing away everything. In fact, I’d prefer that because then we can make Package Control more robust.

You are right, however the package control seens very robust. I do not recall much problems with it, and I like 5 in minutes may completely install/reinstall all my settings and package whatever I go, without any problems. But if you want to make it more robust, add a new simple feature:

Because something failed.

No idea what could have failed if you don’t provide a console log.

Just because something is failing, why break everything else. And also, this looks the error:

File "package_control.settings in /Users/me/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Package Control.sublime-package", line 73, in <lambda>
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'lower'

Should I start thinking about a clean install?

You did not do this already? You are too patient. I would do it on the first minutes its starts troubling. And I recommend you to apply version control over your settings, this way you may move to other computers at speed light. Also, do clean install as well. Note, there is one you would like to backup also, and I do not mentioned at my previous post, is the file, BACKUP_FOLDER/Local/Session.sublime_session, to your new clean install YOUR_DATA_FOLDER/Local/Session.sublime_session. The Session.sublime_session file contains all your current/recent projects/workspaces, and etc. You are welcome to open it, and edit as you like to clean or personalize it.

[jimispire]

I’ve started the clean install process following your procedure.
Now at step 5. It does seem like it finished reinstalling package control but it never asked to restart. Feels like restarting anyway. What do you think?

[addons_zz]

Are you following the steps? Restart does not kill, and is fast to do. For my experience, when installing things any where, a restart is good.

[jimispire]

Does not work. Yet. One of my packages throws an error and keeps Sublime from installing all the other packages.

[addons_zz]

Remove that package form the list. And let it install all the others. What is the console output? It seens a problem with that package. Open a issue on its github issue tracker.

[jimispire]

Oh now this:
Error trying to parse settings: Unexpected newline in Packages/User/Package Control.sublime-settings:19:3

[addons_zz]

Show your Package Control.sublime-settings file contents.

[jimispire]

There is no newline in the file unless TextEdit adds a newline automatically after saving.

It’s a Package control issue.
Follow steps described in the link. It worked for me
