C Anthony,
That does seem to be where some of us are stuck... I can change the
#!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/bin/python2 no sweat, but then when the apps throw
further module errors, that is where I get stuck. For example in
/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py, running the script with python2 as the
executable results in the following error:
01:32 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms> sudo ./data/updt-sign-repo.sh openSUSE_11.0/
sqlite metadata tables found --> updating
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 29, in <module>
import createrepo
ImportError: No module named createrepo
So for some reason the change has caused python2 to lose all its modules and I
know not how to make the find them again :(
