Bug#1103768: awscli: aws command quits with python exception PackageNotFoundError for prompt_toolkit
Package: awscli
Version: 2.23.6-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
The 'aws' command no longer functions in any way. Just running 'aws' without
arguments gives me an exception. Adding arguments does not change this. This
seems to be very early in initialization.
$ aws
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.13/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 407, in
from_name
return next(iter(cls.discover(name=name)))
StopIteration
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for
prompt_toolkit
If I just run a python console and run the import commands from top to bottom,
the first that does no longer throw is the "from prompt_toolkit.application"
one.
So I don't think its a general problem with prompt_toolkit? I am not that
fluent in python, though.
I am absolutely not sure if this is an awscli issue, so please feel free to re-
assign to the correct package.
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
A recent update of some python packages. I am not really sure which, but I
assume somewhere in the region of python3-prompt-toolkit?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Run 'aws' to copy a local file to an S3 bucket.
* What was the outcome of this action?
It failed with the above exception.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
A working copy to the S3 bucket.
