Hi,
I run a server with debian 9, with indico, and try to upgrade it to debian 10
After the upgrade of postgresql and the debian, I was unable to run pip under indico user.
Anyone have experience of that ?
When I try to run pip under indico user, I got this message. I check the path are correct, it’s indeed the rigth python it launch
indico@indico:~$ source .venv/bin/activate
(.venv) indico@indico:~$ pip
Traceback (most recent call last):

My guess would be that your Python installation somehow got messed up by the debian upgrade. Deleting and recreating the virtualenv would probably be a good first step (you need to pip install indico and any plugins you use again afterwards).
Restoring the venv from a backup will not help for sure, since the problem is the combination of the existing the venv and the updated Python (make sure you actually have Python 2 and didn’t end up with Python 3 as /usr/bin/python - a virtualenv usually has a symlink to the original python interpreter, and a Python 2 virtualenv pointing to a Python 3 interpreter could cause all kinds of weird issues).
