It looks like bug #676074[1] |
26 |
|
27 |
I've found a suitable workaround of looking at the versions of python |
28 |
I'm building layman for, and explicitly telling it to use a version of |
29 |
Python other than 3.7 to run layman. |

32 |
katipo2 ~ # EPYTHON=python3.7 layman -a pentoo |

|
36 |
* CLI: Errors occurred processing action add |
37 |
* Exception caught installing repository "pentoo": |
38 |
* unterminated character set at position 1 |
39 |
|
40 |
katipo2 ~ # EPYTHON=python3.6 layman -a pentoo |
41 |
