DBusErrorResponse while running poetry install

Question

I tried to upgrade my poetry from 1.1.x version to 1.3 but as an official manual (https://python-poetry.org/docs/) recommends I removed the old version manually. Unfortunately I probably deleted wrong files because after installing 1.3 version I was still receiving errors that seemed sth was in conflict with old poetry. I tried to find all files in my account (it's a remote machine so I did not want to effect others) connected somehow with poetry (with find /home/username -name *poetry*) and (after uninstalling poetry 1.3) removed them. Then I installed poetry 1.3 back but still did not work. Also tried to delete my whole repo and clone it again, but same problems remains. I guess I pissed it off already, but hope that there is some way to some hard reset. Is there any way how to get from this?

Here is beginning of my error message:

Answer 1

Finally I was able to find the answer here.

There are several ways to do that:

1. Running export PYTHON_KEYRING_BACKEND=keyring.backends.null.Keyring in shell will work for following poetry commands until you close (exit) your shell session

2. Add environment variable for each! poetry command, for example PYTHON_KEYRING_BACKEND=keyring.backends.null.Keyring poetry install

3. If you want to preserve (store) this environment variable between shell sessions or system reboot you can add it in .bashrc and .profile example for bash shell:

   echo 'export PYTHON_KEYRING_BACKEND=keyring.backends.null.Keyring' >> ~/.bashrc

   echo 'export PYTHON_KEYRING_BACKEND=keyring.backends.null.Keyring' >> ~/.profile exec "$SHELL"

for case number 3) you can now run any poetry command as usual, even after system restart
