[Sugar-devel] Help needed to set up the Sugar development environment

[Rohan Saxena]

Hello,
My name is Rohan Saxena and I am an undergraduate student of Computer
Science at BITS Pilani. I am interested in contributing to Sugar Labs.

To set up the development environment, I am following the guide given here:
https://developer.sugarlabs.org/dev-environment.md.html. I was successfully
able to clone the sugar repository on my machine. But when I tried to use
the command ./osbuild pull, I got an error, the details of which are given
at the end of this mail. I Googled this and found that a few other people
running Ubuntu (which is what I'm running) reported the same error, but I
could not find a suitable solution.

I was hoping someone might be able to throw light on this topic.

Thanks in advance,
Rohan Saxena.
