AttributeError: 'ElementTree' object has no attribute 'getiterator'

Hi,

Just installed next for the first time, a couple of minutes ago.

What is this error all about?

 

 

equery u net-fs/nfs-utils
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.9/equery", line 38, in <module>

The issue is python3.9, the bug report has the details:

FL-10643 [next]: equery has problems getting the use flags from ebuilds

A workaround would be to install dev-lang/python-3.7.16,then use eselect python list, and eselect python set the [  ] by  python3.7 so it becomes [1]
