Hi,
I’m not sure what has changed, but in the last few weeks I get this error when opening SubLime up:
I’m not sure where to even start to debug where its coming from? I have a few plugins installed - maybe its one of them?
Thanks
Andy
Error when opening Sublime

You just restart ST. There is nothing for you to debug. 
If you are really curious about what just happened, see ST console (ctrl + `).

Thanks. The problem is, even with a restart it doesn’t fix 
Its been like it for a good few weeks now. This is what the console shows:

So, this happens every time you start ST, right?
Looks weird indeed:
ImportError: No module named 'package_control'

Hi,
Yes, it comes up every time 
There is a lag as well which causes it to lock up (I guess while its trying to install/reinstall whatever it thinks is missing)
These are the packages I have installed:
I removed a couple of packages I don’t use any more (line duplicator, SCSS) in case any of those were the problem., But it still persists. This is the latest:

Same issue happens here.
The package ‘latextools’ makes it.
If ‘latextools’ was removed, the issue was gone together.
Thanks,

My issue was around needing to ignore the Vintage package:
"ignored_packages":["Vintage"],
Not sure why it comes packaged with it, when it breaks stuff 
I’ve not had the weird issues I was having since
