'function' object has no attribute 'decode' in safe_unicode on MacPorts

[expo]

I just installed the latest BaZaar from MacPorts and I got this traceback when I did a bzr rebase:

bzr: ERROR: exceptions.AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'decode'

*** Bazaar has encountered an internal error. This probably indicates a
    bug in Bazaar. You can help us fix it by filing a bug report at
        https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+filebug
    including this traceback and a description of the problem.

I think it's something wrong inside the macPorts repository because if I use the Bazaar binaries from the official site works well

I'm guessing this may be a bzr-svn bug, or an inconsistency between bzr-svn and bzr itself. If you update bzr-svn it might go away.

[Martin Pool (mbp)]

Please see if you can reproduce this with bzr-svn 1.1.0.

[Martin Packman (gz)]

From the exiting bug, this will apparently be fixed in the next bzr-svn release, though it's not clear exactly what the problem is or which revision fixes it from the bug entry.

[arthur richards (awjrichards)]

This seems to still persist with the version of bzr-svn available in macports ( 1.0.4_1), which I believe is incompatible with the current version of bzr in macports (2.3.1). I rolled bzr back to what I had previously (2.2.3) as well as my version of bzr-svn (to 1.0.4_0) and that seemed to resolve the issue till bzr-svn 1.1.0 is stable/in macports.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

1.0.4 does not have this fix - the fix is currently just committed in trunk and will be in 1.1.0.
