With a fresh install of salt, I was seeing errors matching the bug report here: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/47006 It has to do with the byte compliling python modules that FreeBSD does in a similar fashion to what Gentoo does when installing. Pull request to fix it is here: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/pull/48636 applying the following patch as a user-patch fixed the issue: https://github.com/angeloudy/salt/commit/205abe209d5d8af6db2a619fa0c97de26f7b4256.patch supposedly this is to be in the 2018.3.3 release, though I don't think it's been merged yet. Reproducible: Always
Tested salt's 2018.3.3 git branch[0]. Solves the issue. Bumped ebuild, adjusted SRC_URI and removed second patch from PATCHES. Just in case someone is interested. [0] https://github.com/saltstack/salt/tree/2018.3.3
The oldest we have in Gentoo today is salt-3004.2-r2.ebuild; I believe this is obsolete. Closing, please re-open as needed.
