So many Sublime Text 2 users get error (or) no action when they want to install any sublime text 2 package @via Package Control.

When I'm clicked on Package Control: Install Package from Ctrl+Shift+P.

I got this below error:

There are no packages available for installation

enter image description here

Note: Some times error message is not displayed and no action is happened.

When I'm tracing error report from console. I got this below error on console.
