Running "systemd-analyze plot" fails with "ValueError: zero length field name in format" error with Python 2.6; that's because of the line 175 in /usr/bin/systemd-analyze: banner = "{} {} ({} {}) {}".format(osrel, *(os.uname()[1:5])) Python can handle string formatting with omitted positional argument specifiers in replacement fields since 2.7, but for 2.6 line 175 has to look like banner = "{0} {1} ({2} {3}) {4}".format(osrel, *(os.uname()[1:5])) Current systemd ebuild doesn't depend on python, instead it produces elog message about satisfied optional runtime dependency if it's found. I think it needs useflag for analyze with a conditional dependency, or at least check for 2.7 in pkg_postinst to produce valid message. P.S. older systemd-29 systemd-analyze works well with python 2.6 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. emerge systemd-44, boot using it as your init 1. emerge python:2.6 and switch to it via "eselect python" 2. rebuild needed modules (dbus-python, pycairo) 3. run "systemd-analyze plot" Actual Results: Python error Expected Results: SVG boot chart output
Hmm, since it's not python3-capable, I'll mangle the shebang.
