Error while installating pip for Python3

When i tried to install PIP for python3 in Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

Command I used:

root@DESKTOP-0BEE3OD:/mnt/c# apt install python3-pip

E: Could not read response to hello message from hook [ ! -f /usr/bin/snap ] || /usr/bin/snap advise-snap --from-apt 2>/dev/null || true: Success

I am not able to fix this error.


I had the same problem and found an answer here: Broken APT on WSL 18.04

Just like in the link I would delete the apt hook first to get apt up and running again:

sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20snapd.conf

Seems like Snapcraft is the problem here because it is depending on python. I tried to update pip python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip and this seemed to mess everything up and I couldn't install any python packages anymore. So I deleted python3 and then the error occured.

Note to self: Do use apt when upgrading pip. (At least on ubuntu or simillar distros)
