Bug 383633 – Invalid shebang (python) for some ebuilds if python3 is enabled

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Florian Eitel 2011-09-19 12:23:35 UTC]

(Hopefully one bug for all packages are the right way to go)

$ eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7
  [2]   python3.2 *

Following scripts/ebuilds are using python in shebang but only working with python2 (not python3):

app-portage/elogviewer-0.5.2-r2
  /usr/bin/elogviewer

gnome-extra/zeitgeist-0.7.1-r1
  /usr/bin/zeitgeist-daemon

net-dns/avahi-0.6.28-r1
  /usr/bin/avahi-discover

net-wireless/bluez-4.96:
  /usr/bin/bluez-apitest
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-adapter
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-attrib
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-audio
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-device
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-discovery
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-input
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-manager
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-network
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-oob
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-sap-server
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-serial
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-service
  /usr/bin/bluez-test-telephony

sys-apps/dstat-0.6.9-r1:
  /usr/bin/dstat


Should be fixed using python_convert_shebangs - you want patches for this?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set python3 as default python
2. install one of those packages
3. try to run the executable
Actual Results:  
Syntax exception

Expected Results:  
should run

Those packages are all maintained by different people, so we need separate bugs for each.

Please file one bug per package. You can make each bug block this one if you would like to use this as a tracker.

Seems like all bugs are done now. Thanks to Ian Delaney for patches :)
