bitbake crash: "global name 'os' is not defined"

[Victor Sergienko]

Binary package hint: bitbake

Bitbake crashes for me.

As for mailing list, 1.8.12 is pretty outdated, and the error was in some of old versions.

I believe a newer one should be in distribution.

This is fixed in newer bitbake versions (we're currently at 1.8.18)

Thanks!

I believe we have newer bitbakes in the latest Ubuntu version which fixes your original issue; if you have the new issue you mention with the new bitbake, please report it separately
