Error on pdagent about pdagent

[blagh]

Hi there, this looks like a bug, related to changes in how Python 3 deals with string vs bytes. I can't give you a specific timeline on a patch, but we're looking into it.

Hey there, we're working on patching a number of issues with the Python 3 pdagent in this pull request. It hasn't been released yet because we're still working on a few issues with it, but you can keep an eye on it in the meanwhile.

Any update on the PR? @blagh

for a quick fix:

1. systemctl stop pdagent

2. In /usr/share/pdagent/bin/pdagentd after the then, replace python3 with python so it becomes:

if [ -x "$(command -v python3)" ];
then
    python $DIR/pdagentd.py "$@"
else
    python $DIR/pdagentd.py "$@"
fi

Note: double check if python --version gives Python 2 for you. If it doesn't, then update the command above accordingly.

3. systemctl start pdagent
