Bug Description
I've been getting this error since installing Python 3.6, and when flashinstaller tries to update. It keeps complaining of a missing module called 'debian.deb822'
Where do I get this mythical module, and where should it be installed, so I can get my system back to normal?

Do you mean you've manually overwritten the system python3 installation on your 16.04 install?

You need to fix your system so that 'python3' on the path runs the system python3.5.
How did you install python 3.6?
