Question
I'm attempting to set up GBS builds on Ubuntu 18.04 but encountering difficulties. Since there are no apt packages available for 18.04, I tried using the 16.04 packages from: http://download.tizen.org/tools/latest-release/Ubuntu_16.04/
I installed gbs and mic following the instructions here: https://source.tizen.org/documentation/developer-guide/getting-started-guide/installing-development-tools
However, when attempting to build a package, I receive the following error:
info: generate repositories ...
warning: No local package repository for arch armv7l
info: build conf has been downloaded at:
/var/tmp/root-gbs/tizen4.conf
info: start building packages from: /data/release/repos/dali-core (git)

gbs 0.25.7

error: Traceback (most recent call last):

reponame = urlparse(remotes[remotename][0]).path.lstrip('/')
TypeError: list indices must be integers, not unicode
The build ultimately fails with:
error: <gbs>some packages failed to be built
Any assistance with resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
Problem Understanding
The user is experiencing GBS build failures on Ubuntu 18.04 due to compatibility issues with the Ubuntu 16.04 packages they installed. The error suggests a type mismatch in the GBS Python code when processing repository information.
