I've been looking into this bug, here's the full environment as passed to lxc-ls: SUDO_GID=200512 MAIL=/var/mail/root USER=root LANGUAGE=en_CA:en HOME=/root SUDO_UID=201105 LOGNAME=root USERNAME=root TERM=unknown PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games JUJU_HOME=/tmp/juju/stgraber-sample LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 JUJU_ORIGIN=distro SUDO_COMMAND=/usr/bin/python -m juju.agents.machine --logfile /tmp/juju/stgraber-sample/machine-agent.log --zookeeper-servers 10.0.3.1:40010 --juju-directory /tmp/juju/stgraber-sample --machine-id 0 --session-file /var/run/juju/stgraber-sample-machine-agent.zksession --pidfile /tmp/juju/stgraber-sample/machine-agent.pid SHELL=/bin/bash JUJU_ZOOKEEPER=10.0.3.1:40010 JUJU_UNIT_NS=stgraber-sample JUJU_SERIES=precise SUDO_USER=stgraber JUJU_PUBLIC_KEY=ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQC6yjMe+wWsH9xgor39al4p+W22D7Io8+n0ZahNEWyTG0rLZDYMQryrXUDYJRvAbiCVfTB4e7waLTDoaK5sSqoa0GoexYCIgFduOBHZfjWHu9HcpIeoq5Bc+XmOYQaoFjL4YEc2GAP//8CEmGLCqC/+rO36YbBPjd0176pAJQ7R2Bym+4k2/VvA4Plw439IdElGMgK2ge+5xc0qq7iph+ITCriR1eYCorA6T2j97ufddvQO/fmOh9+HoQ4Y+i6mKSPNyO9m87+KImwF1XX/ocQRBO9eYkqWM992ZqXG4H62r+NoRNwW4R9c5nF6rUc8x1StTpp3L0A0ybIYjRuV3m+J stgraber@lantea JUJU_MACHINE_ID=0 PWD=/home/stgraber PYTHONPATH=/usr/bin:/usr/lib/python2.7:/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-i386-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk:/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old:/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PILcompat:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gst-0.10:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0:/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-client:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-control-panel:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-storage-protocol
You'll notice that JuJu overrides PYTHONPATH with 2.7 paths when lxc-ls is a python3 script. This in turn causes the python interpreter to fail as can be seen below: stgraber@lantea:~$ export PYTHONPATH=/usr/bin:/usr/lib/python2.7:/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-i386-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk:/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old:/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PILcompat:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gst-0.10:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0:/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-client:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-control-panel:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-storage-protocol stgraber@lantea:~$ python3 Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/__init__.py", line 123 raise CodecRegistryError,\ ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Aborted (core dumped) stgraber@lantea:~$ So the bug is actually in juju which doesn't pass a clean environment to the scripts it's calling and triggers this bug. ** Information type changed from Private to Public ** Package changed: lxc (Ubuntu) => juju (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1130809 Title: lxc-ls crashed with SIGABRT in Py_FatalError() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/juju/+bug/1130809/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
