Strange output, see build log.

I cannot reproduce.  Same set as USE flags and so on.  What is your active Python version?

2.7

[Comment 3 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2011-09-29 06:18:25 UTC]

ebuild itself does nothing special in src_prepare:

src_prepare() {
    # Remove after release of > 0.99.0
    cp "${FILESDIR}"/credits.pickle "${S}"/credits.pickle
}

From build.log:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild-ipc.py", line 32, in <module>
    import portage
  File "/usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/__init__.py", line 25, in <module>
    from subprocess import getstatusoutput as subprocess_getstatusoutput
ImportError: cannot import name getstatusoutput

This trace indicates problem in portage not in bzr-gtk.

@portage any ideas here?

Maybe there's a permission issue accessing the commands.py or subprocess.py files in /usr/lib/python-$VERSION, triggered by FEATURES=userpriv.

I have the same issue installing bzr-git:

In [1]: import subprocess

In [2]: subprocess.__file__
Out[2]: '/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.pyc'

In [3]: import commands

In [4]: from subprocess import getstatusoutput as subprocess_getstatusoutput
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: cannot import name getstatusoutput

[Comment 6 Zac Medico 2016-12-14 17:05:01 UTC]

Current versions of portage do not import getstatusoutput:

Closing as obsolete.
