"ValueError: Name node can't be used with 'None' constant" in docker container

Hey, I’m running the linuxserver/beets container, not changed a thing in years but this error popped up a couple of days ago. I realise the same error has been reported a year or more ago however given nothing has changed on my machine, I suspect there’s something wrong inside the container.

I switched to nightly as per the instructions here: Update to python 3.8.10 breaks image on Raspberry Pi · Issue #80 · linuxserver/docker-beets · GitHub

I wouldn’t consider this “solved” if it means not using a release tag. Can this get addressed by a new release please @adrian?

@trolley, publishing a new release is a time consuming process. See this discussion: Forming a beets "core team"

OK, thanks. I’ll switch to the nightly docker container for now.
