[SOLVED] Symbolic links for python (v2) modules

Question

I was blind, sry
To solve the issue:
https://code.google.com/p/git-repo/issues/detail?id=168
rm ~/.repopickle_.gitconfig
Didn't work before for me as I made a dumb fail...
Hello,
I tried to understand and follow the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/an … nvironment) about building Android as good as I could.
Everything works till the part with setting the virtualenv2 for using python 2 (python -V gives v2.7.9 back). I understood everything till there, and even after that. Sadly it still doesn't work
The first problem accuring is that when issueing
ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/* /Data/Android_Build/venv/lib/python2.7/
I get "file exists" for every existing file. Is that wanted as it only should "add" modules not being in 'android/venv/lib/python-2.7/' ? After that I tried issueing 'repo init -u' but sadly this just gives me a python error.
$ repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.0

Yes! You are right. Now, this sounds so familiar. I vaguely remember doing this when I originally installed Arch on this laptop, but I must have done it as part of the "beginners guide" procedure. I guess this explains it:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=168068
Now, I take it from this that I safely remove ALL the symlinks from my rc.local?
rc.local:
ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrw
ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd
ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvdrw
