Same issue here. Started getting these errors after installing python-boto3 package on my Ubuntu 16.04 Salt master. So I figure it’s related to python-boto3 dependencies. Purging python-boto3 and all dependencies fixes the issue for me.

python-boto3 depedencies are:

docutils-common docutils-doc libjbig0 libjpeg-turbo8 libjpeg8 liblcms2-2 libpaper-utils libpaper1 libtiff5 libwebp5 libwebpmux1 python-botocore python-docutils python-jmespath python-pil python-pygments python-roman
