I am following git-review installation instructions for Debian[1]. Everything works fine until I try to use git-review. $ sudo apt-get install python-pip Reading package lists...

By the way, this is the only thing that is preventing me from having a fully functional development environment on that machine.
Andre asked at #wikimedia-dev for more information: $ git review --version git-review version 1.23 $ git review -vs Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/git-review", line 1196, in <module> main() File "/usr/local/bin/git-review", line 1108, in main needs_update = latest_is_newer() File "/usr/local/bin/git-review", line 179, in latest_is_newer if not configParser.getboolean("updates", "check"): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 368, in getboolean v = self.get(section, option) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 607, in get raise NoSectionError(section) ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'updates' (precise)z@localhost:~/project/browsertests$
Noting 1.23 WFM on Ubuntu
(In reply to comment #3) > Noting 1.23 WFM on Ubuntu I did not understand this comment. Is there anything I should do?
Looks like there is a workaround: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Alternatives_to_git-review
I have reported the bug upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/git-review/+bug/1243044
(In reply to comment #5) > Looks like there is a workaround: > > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Alternatives_to_git-review That's always been a workaround. Some of us do this daily rather than use git-review.
Adding something like this to git-review.conf fixes the file: [updates] check=off
