GBS, MIC and OBS Installation Issues on Ubuntu 17.10

I'm encountering issues with GBS and MIC installation on Ubuntu 17.10. Here are my specific problems:

1. SSH Connection Issue:

   • After setting up SSH keys and registering my public key on Gerrit, I get this response when trying to connect:

     $ ssh tizen
     Connection to review.tizen.org closed by remote host.
     Connection to review.tizen.org closed.
     

   • Is this normal behavior?

2. GBS Build Error:

   • After successfully syncing Tizen source code and running gbs build, I encounter this error:

     error: Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "/usr/bin/gbs", line 709, in <module>
         sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
       File "/usr/bin/gbs", line 703, in main
         return module.main(args)
       File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gitbuildsys/cmd_export.py", line 346, in main
         export_sources(repo, commit, export_dir, main_spec, args)
       File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gitbuildsys/cmd_export.py", line 264, in export_sources
         create_tarball=create_tarball)
       File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gitbuildsys/cmd_export.py", line 169, in create_gbp_export_args
         remotename = 'origin' if 'origin' in remotes else remotes.keys()[0]
     AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'keys'
     

   • The 'remotes' array only contains [ tizen-gerrit ]. Shouldn't it have URLs?
   • I'm using Python 2.7.14 - should I downgrade to Python 2.6x?

Additional context:

• I installed GBS and MIC from Ubuntu 16.04's repository on Ubuntu 17.10
• Had to use --force-overwrite flag during OBS-build package installation due to duplicate man page files
