Which version are you using? I think this should be fixed in the latest Mnemosyne release which you can download from Mnemosyne's website.

This is fixed in the 2.7 series. Either download the latest version from github, or manually remove references to Upgrade3 in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mnemosyne/libmnemosyne/__init__.py
