• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ben Maynard 2011-01-07 16:02:58 UTC]

When I install the gentoolkit the following python error occurs:


>>> Installing (1 of 1) app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.4.6.1-r1
 * Compilation and optimization of Python modules for CPython 3.1 ...
*** Error compiling /usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/gentoolkit/__init__.py ...

When attempting to run glsa-check the following error occurs:


  File "/usr/bin/glsa-check", line 104
    except GetoptError, e:
                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax




Reproducible: Always

Python 3 is not supported by the stable version of gentoolkit.  I'm working on adjusting the ebuild, so that python 3 will not be used.

[Comment 2 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2011-01-11 03:41:24 UTC]

The ebuild has been fixed.
