See https://builder.sourceware.org/buildbot/#/workers/18 The issue is this code that tries to create a working directory before running the git update command: if not os.path.exists(workdir): os.makedirs(workdir) The apparently os.path.exists returns false, but then os.makedirs raises a FileExistsError. Which doesn't really make sense. Might there be something odd with the filesystem? Confused, Mark
