Description:

After installing grass and wxpython, trying to use grass in GUI mode fails. There are a number of errors encountered in the file "/opt/grass-6.4.1/etc/wxpython/gis_set.py". The file appears to be written in python2.x, but is being parsed as though it were python3.x.

package version: 6.4.1-4

To reproduce start grass from a terminal:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
