gclient sync: No such package error (binutils.tar.bz2)

[Ronny Ko]

Hi,

When I build chromium-browser from source code, my "gclient sync" command fails because it cannot find gs://chromium-binutils/69bedb1192a03126687f75cb6cf1717758a1a59f for /home/skyer/Desktop/testbuild/src/third_party/binutils/Linux_x64/binutils.tar.bz2. I wonder if anyone has a clue on how to solve this problem. The following is a detailed log:

:testbuild/src$ gclient sync

Did you enable experimental Python3 support for gclient somewhere? Or, if you type "python -V" in the command line, do you see Python3 running instead of 2? You need to have Python2, and "python" command should point to python2 by default. Normally you shouldn't see this warning text.

(I hit this trap when I used python venv with my scripts -- venv modifies the PATH so "python" points to python3 (or whatever version you used in your venv), and this causes subtle issues with Chromium builds.)

Thanks a lot, now it works fine. The issue was not using Python 2 (I was using Python 3).
