For some reason, my gnome-tweaks command has stopped working. It has worked before and I have not intentionally done anything to change its operation. When I go to the Applications menu>System Tools>Tweaks, I get the loading symbol for a while and then nothing. I have gnome-tweaks and gnome-tweak-tool (both are v3.28.1-1) installed on my Dell Latitude E6430ATG. My operating system is Debian v9.4. If I use terminal as a user to start tweaks in my home directory, I get:
- morris@DELLDEB:~$ gnome-tweak-tool
bash: gnome-tweak-tool: command not found
morris@DELLDEB:~$ gnome-tweaks
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.entry.set_input_hints(Gtk.InputHints.NO_EMOJI)
AttributeError: type object 'InputHints' has no attribute 'NO_EMOJI'
When I issue the commands as root, and from the root directory, I get:
- root@DELLDEB:/# gnome-tweak-tool
bash: gnome-tweak-tool: command not found
root@DELLDEB:/# gnome-tweaks

Apparently, from the listings above, there are some commands in some files that gnome-tweaks has a problem with--and some other problems as well. Supposedly, my computer does a check for software updates every day. Could that have caused a problem? Do you know of a way to get gnome-tweaks to work again?
Thanks
