Hey everyone,
xattr
no longer works out of the box for me:
$ xattr -l file_with_metadata
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/xattr", line 33, in <module>
sys.exit(load_entry_point('xattr==0.9.8', 'console_scripts', 'xattr')())
TypeError: main() missing 1 required positional argument: 'argv'
Same happens when invoking xattr --help
as well.
Python version:
$ python --version
Python 3.9.9
Should I install the python2
package? Anybody has experience with this particular problem? I am hesitant to do so because I know that many distros are strongly dependent on the globally accessible python
version, and I’ve personally seen Ubuntu almost completely grind to a halt due to a switch of the globally active Python version.
Thank you for your time and potential insights.
EDIT: It’s probably a good idea to post the output of uname -a
:
Linux s1 5.15.7-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 8 10:09:19 UTC 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The system is up to date, I run a system-wide upgrade almost every day.
