@SnaasebKram: Could you please file an issue report and provide a link to your /etc/apt/sources.list? The comparison for duplicate entries is not perfect because I'm not exactly sure what entries Apt considers equal but a sample like yours would help tweaking that.

@yashhsethiya: You need to install the python3-apt package. The most recent release makes that clearer.
