Message on Software Updater

Every time I open Software Updater to check for updates, I always got a message like this (You stopped checks for updates). After that, I got message "System problem detected". And every time I reboot the system, the pop up "System problem detected" always shows up. I've tried to delete the crash file by sudo rm /var/crash/*, but it always comes back.

Please open a terminal and run sudo apt update and then sudo apt full-upgrade. If any, please edit and post the error message in its entirety. – MichaelBay Oct 3 '17 at 9:25
    
I already run sudo apt-full upgrade but it shows no errors. It just says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." – tangorboyz Oct 3 '17 at 9:27
    
Did you run sudo apt update first ? – Soren A Oct 3 '17 at 9:29
    
yes, I did run it. – tangorboyz Oct 3 '17 at 9:30
    
try sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log or cat /var/log/apt/history and inspect any cause to this problem. Does sudo dpkg --configure -a helps? – Redbob Oct 3 '17 at 12:30

Run sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel solved the problems. There must be an error because I use both python 3.5 and 3.6. The error must happened after I reinstall some python 3.6 package. Now the software-updater is working again. I got this from github https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/3078 . There's also chardet package that lost from python 3.5 installation, that cause the package-downloader from update-notifier to crash. So I runsudo pip3 install --upgrade requests that also install chardet. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31387799/importerror-cannot-import-name-chardet
