LIN1019-3837 : setup.sh fails with updated Python v3

Created: Dec 23, 2019 Updated: Jan 16, 2020

Resolved Date: Jan 7, 2020

Found In Version: 10.19.45.2

Fix Version: 10.19.45.3

Severity: Standard

Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 19

Component/s: Build & Config

Description

Updated system to python 3.6.x for another WR product requirement.  The /usr/bin/python was set as a soft link to /usr/bin/python3.6, which causes a failure for the setup.sh command.  Changing the link back to point to the old python2.7 executable executes correctly.  We should add checks to ensure the correct version or execute the version specific executable.

Workaround

1. Ensure /usr/python is pointing to /usr/python2

Steps to Reproduce

# soft link /usr/python to point to /usr/python3.6 o /usr/python3
 # install and run as normal
 # error occurs (see attached) !setupErr.png!
