I have been trying to install pandas for a week now. Read pretty much every thread I could find but nothing seems to work. I keep getting a ton of import and dpkg errors every time. Everything is up to date.

I have tried:

sudo apt-get install python-pandas

sudo apt install python3-pandas

Here is the output I get:

sudo apt-get install python-pandas

I am really not sure what is happening here. I was able to install pandas on other systems 100's of times within a few seconds.

  • I just did sudo apt install python-pandas python3-pandas and it worked okay. Took about 5 minutes though. I suspect you have screwed up your packages by trying to install by non-standard means. – joan Sep 11 '19 at 20:04
  • @user3088202, Ah, let me see. To get rid of dpkg errors, I usually use GUI Rpi Desktop > Preferences > Search to install. Just now I searched "pandas" with more than 20 results, some related to things I don't know, such as neuroscience and databases. I picked a couple of packages which I think are basic and installed without any problem. Of course I might later found dependency problems. My quick and dirty prototyping is install more and more dependent packages until no more dpkg errors coming up. – tlfong01 Sep 12 '19 at 01:49

It may be that your package lists are broken. Because you don't mention you have done it, it is always a good idea to

rpi ~$ sudo apt update
rpi ~$ sudo apt full-upgrade
rpi ~$ sudo systemctl reboot

If it doesn't help you may try to reinitialize your package lists. How to do it you can look at Raspberry Pi sudo apt-get update not working.
