Package: vim-youcompleteme Severity: important Tags: upstream I usually use the upstream version with tern enabled, but after my latest dist-upgrade it stopped working and kept printing "ValueError: bad marshal data (unknown type code)" at the bottom of the vim window. I tried rebuilding the plugin, downgrading from vim 8.0 (unstable) to 7.4 (testing) and also installing this Debian package instead of using upstream, but I kept getting the same error.
I couldn't find any YouCompleteMe-specific references to this error message on Google, but the search revealed that it's python-related, so I tried rebuilding upstream with python3 (python3 ./install.py ...) and this seems to have cured it. So it would probably be a good idea to migrate this package and ycmd to python3 now. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
