Ubuntu 18.04 install failing at "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 185, in open: /plugininstall.py: self._cache = apt_pkg.Cache(progress)

[Chris Jensen]

Originally was trying to dual boot, finally wiped the drive in attempts to do a clean install. Install is still failing after setting display to 100%.

Installing on MBP 12,1

Any help would be great!

It looks like your target system is missing /etc/apt/sources.list, but how can that be when it was just put there by the installer? Very strange.
