py3 buildserver issue: TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitly
There are two issues here, first, fdroid build can die with an error but apparently not set an error for the exit value, so that ./jenkins-build-makebuildserver finishes without an error even though none of the apps built. You can see that here:
Second, there is a py3-related bytes vs str issue with fdroid build:
