Created attachment 285827 [details, diff] bytes to str fix patch to check if response is bytes and convert it to str, against sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha52
Thanks, this is fixed in git: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=58eb89592bfc3ac40ac0235ebcc52910b51a826c Please note that this fix is for the legacy binhost protocol which only applies when the $PORTAGE_BINHOST/Packages file is not fetchable. In order to use the newer protocol, you need to share $PKGDIR such that $PORTAGE_BINHOST/Packages can be fetched by clients.
This is fixed in 2.1.10.15 and 2.2.0_alpha55.
