psautohint error when building fonts about fontship HOT 2 OPEN

psautohint has been trouble before, I had to disable it for a while. I thought it was working again –at least for the projects I was checking on which included Libertinus– but I guess I'll have to poke it again. I'm a little confused because it does work for me right now, but I'll still take a gander.

As a temporary stand by you can build without any hinting by turning off the hinting step entirely. Either at the top of fontship.mk or from the CLI pass a Makefile variable that sets HINT=''. The empty value will make it skip the step entirely. No that's not pretty and not meant to be a permanent work around...

$ fontship make -- HINT=''

from fontship.

I had to update a bunch of Python packages, maybe the problem's there. Unfortunately, I couldn't trace where the problem is coming from, because I don't know the structure of font compilation.

Thanks for the workaround, but I managed to get Docker working eventually, so I'll be using that for local compilation.
