I’ve met the same problem those days, after tens of trials I found that this error is caused by the Ubuntu distribution used by task. For the one you stated as “working”, it’s running on **trusty** , and the errored one was running on **xenial**.

**TO FIX THIS** , add the following code to your .travis.yml file,

> dist: trusty

To manually appoint the Ubuntu distribution version.

~~trusty is trusty for real~~
