When syncing the portage tree with python3 enabled, I get this error every time when synchronizing the timestamps. I have tried syncinc without python3 and it works just fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Sync the portage tree (emerge --sync) 2. Wait for the timestamps to be synchronized Actual Results: This error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 42, in <module> retval = emerge_main() File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/main.py", line 1443, in emerge_main return action_sync(settings, trees, mtimedb, myopts, myaction) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/actions.py", line 1767, in action_sync exitcode = git_sync_timestamps(settings, myportdir) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/actions.py", line 2468, in git_sync_timestamps modified_files = set(l.rstrip("\n") for l in proc.stdout) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/_emerge/actions.py", line 2468, in <genexpr> modified_files = set(l.rstrip("\n") for l in proc.stdout) TypeError: Type str doesn't support the buffer API Expected Results: A successful sync. Using the funtoo branch, although I really doubt that seems relevant to the actual bug.

Thank you.
This is fixed in 2.1.7.4 and 2.2_rc49.
