DistributionNotFound when running gitosis-init

linux, tools No Comments »

Got the following error while trying to run gitosis-init on Ununtu 9.04. After a bit of searching found it was a known bug. Workaround is to edit /usr/bin/gitosis-init to use python 2.5 instead of python 2.6.

mick@builder:/srv/gitosis$ sudo -H -u gitosis /usr/bin/gitosis-init < /tmp/id_rsa.pub
