[DRBD-user] python-linstor, linstor-client 1.0.9 release

[Wolfgang Walkowiak]

Hi Rene et al,

thank you for this new release.  I just tried updating our linstor
controller (on a Debian 9.11 LXC container) to this new version,
ie updating the following linstor packages:

linstor-client           1.0.9-1                  0.9.9-1
linstor-common           1.4.0-1                  0.9.13-1
linstor-controller       1.4.0-1                  0.9.13-1
python-linstor           1.0.9-1                  0.9.9-1

It looks loke the controller comes up, but I have an issue with the 
client:

pm1drbdctl:~# linstor  r l
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/linstor", line 24, in <module>
     linstor_client_main.main()
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/linstor_client_main.py", line 668, 
in main
     LinStorCLI().run()
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/linstor_client_main.py", line 633, 
in run
     rc = self.parse_and_execute(sys.argv[1:])
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/linstor_client_main.py", line 331,

     self._linstorapi.connect()
   File "/usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/linstor/linstorapi.py", line 554,

     self._ctrl_version = self.controller_version()
   File "/usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/linstor/linstorapi.py", line 
2202, in controller_version
     "GET", "/v1/controller/version"
   File "/usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/linstor/linstorapi.py", line 341, 
in _rest_request
     return self.__convert_rest_response(apicall, response, path)
   File "/usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/linstor/linstorapi.py", line 373, 
in __convert_rest_response
     data = json.loads(resp_data)
   File "/usr/lib/python3.5/json/__init__.py", line 312, in loads
     s.__class__.__name__))
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'

The same if I just call
# linstor

However,
# linstor --help
shows the help.  ;-)

I understand that this is now using python3.
I wonder whether I miss a package or alike. 
Any hint on how to fix this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much,

w.w.
