Description Chris Kerr 2014-08-02 17:02:25 UTC 
I have Python 3 as my default /usr/bin/python and got this error when building findutils-4.5.14 -- I think it will also occur with other versions. The error is because of the changing of 'print' from a statement to a function from Python 2 to Python 3.



From build.log:
