ImportError: libgthread-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Question

How should I solve this error in Ubuntu16.04?

    import cv2
  File "/opt/conda/envs/pytorch-py3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
    from .cv2 import *
ImportError: libgthread-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

At first fix your APT errors, then install `libglib2.0-0` package. — N0rbert, Jul 30 '18 at 21:25

Try this:

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0

Then, run your command again. If that doesn't do the trick, try this:

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0:i386

I'm on a 64-bit computer, but the tool I'm using uses 32-bit.

@Janin answer worked for me however I needed to first run apt-get update -y. I assume this is because I was running in a container with perhaps a different version of Ubuntu.

Full solution -

apt-get update -y
apt-get install libglib2.0-0
