[GRASS-dev] problem in ubuntu package (ppa:grass-devel) was: can not install addons with g.extension

[Robert Nuske]

Hi 

g.extension from grass70 (ppa:grass-devel) still fails.
[...]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/grass70/tools/g.html2man.py", line 5, in <module>
    from html import HTMLParser, HTMLParseError
ImportError: No module named html
[...]

GRASS Version: 7.0.0+1svn64647~ubuntu14.04.1
package from PPA grass-devel
ubuntu 14.04  64bit

-----------------------------------------------------------

Not getting anywhere with that error message, I build GRASS releasebranch_7_0 
from source according to  
http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install_Ubuntu#GRASS_GIS

Everything works nicely, including g.extension
[...]
Installation of <r.grow.shrink> successfully finished

:-)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Starting the packaged version of GRASS 7 afterwards (/usr/bin/grass70) 
leads to errors and no wxpython GUI.

Error message in popup window:
Unable to parse user toolboxes XML files. Default module tree will be loaded.

Ursache: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 201: ordinal 
not in range(128)
