How to repeat:
MySQL Enterprise Workbench is running on a Mac. MySQL server 5.6.26 and enterprise backup 3.12.1 are running remotely on a Linux machine.
Workbench has been upgraded many times before and it seems to use Python 2.7. On the other hand, the Linux machine is brand new and this is a fresh install of MySQL and Enterprise Backup as well.
In MySQL Enterprise Workbench, I created a new connection to the MySQL server and attempted to configure the remote Enterprise backup management. The workbench UI successfully created the backup directory and the backup mysql user. Upon pressing OK to save the settings, the aforementioned error appeared.
Suggested fix:
In the Workbench installation folder, I changed line 873 of mysqlwbmeb.py (function MEBHelperVersion):
self.write_output(md5.digest())
To:
self.write_output(md5.hexdigest())
That seems to have fixed the issue.
PS: I had to delete/rename mysqlwbmeb.pyc to cause the change to take effect in Workbench.
