Hey there, the bug here was actually in mycroft-core but I believe it's been fixed. Can you make sure you're running the latest version of mycroft-core?

cd /home/pi/mycroft-core
git pull

and if it's still a problem can you post the output of git status?

thanks for having a look at it

language is set to "de-de" meanwhile I installed german dict for pocketsphinx - so it isn't a fresh install anymore ;)

[krisgesling]

Yeah, the fix hasn't been pushed to stable yet. But if you switch to the dev branch of mycroft-core it will stop failing.

cd ~/mycroft-core
git checkout dev
./dev_setup.sh

ok thanx a ton! ;)
