hi, i've just installed a stage1 gentoo.. layman gives this error when i've trying to add any overlay: # layman -a arcon Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/layman", line 37, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/layman", line 34, in main Actions(Config()) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/layman/action.py", line 489, in __init__ result += i[1](config).run() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/layman/action.py", line 160, in __init__ self.selection = [i.decode(enc) for i in self.selection] TypeError: decode() argument 1 must be string, not None i thought maybe it should be another strange l10n error, as you know Turkish has problems like this. i've tried to ran with "LANG=C layman -a xxxx" but nothing changed.

Now all fuctions works correctly. Thanks :)
Please reopen this bug. It hasn't been fixed yet in the Portage tree.
ok sorry :)
Thanks for the patch! Fixed in layman-1.2.1. Available via portage.
