Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

I found a corresponding bug report in Debian (see the attached bug watch) with the same error message. It looks like it is resolved in newer version with the Python3 port, but I don't know the scope of that or if a minimal fix for the specific line in the error message would be enough.

Thanks for the update
