Current Cinnamon ebuild, version 3.6.6 is not compatible with Python's PIL library >=dev-python/pillow-6.0.0 $ cinnamon-settings Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py", line 45, in <module> modules = map(__import__, mod_files) File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_backgrounds.py", line 5, in <module> import imtools File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/bin/imtools.py", line 622, in <module> if Image.VERSION == '1.1.7': AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'VERSION' dev-python/pillow should be locked to <6.0.0. Alternatively, following if/else condition can be condensed to just "else" branch: if Image.VERSION == '1.1.7': def split(image): """Work around for bug in Pil 1.1.7 :param image: input image :type image: PIL image object :returns: the different color bands of the image (eg R, G, B) :rtype: tuple """ image.load() return image.split() else: def split(image): """Work around for bug in Pil 1.1.7 :param image: input image :type image: PIL image object :returns: the different color bands of the image (eg R, G, B) :rtype: tuple """ return image.split() inside of the /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/bin/imtools.py file.
Oh, another alternative would be patching the /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/bin/imtools.py file and checking if Image has __version__ attribute instead and rely on that.

Can you reproduce this issue with 4.0.x? if not it seems like a good reason to stabilize a newer version instead of patching 3.6.
It is still happening in 4.0.x. I have looked into GitHub repo and it seems like it was just recently fixed and the fix is only available in master, no releases has been made yet. See https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/8495

See > https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/8495 Thanks, that makes it easier to carry a downstream patch if necessary before a new release. Will have a look at it this weekend.
Any progress on this? It's a pretty major breakage, and a downgrade also breaks for me (for an unrelated reason).
