Hmm, it seems we made a little error when refactoring this bit of code. I'll make a patch for it, in the meantime you can change the offending "for line in err.split('\n'):" into "for line in err.decode('utf-8')split('\n'):" so that we can get the problem in the logs to debug.

As for the issue itself, my first bet is that your lsblk command doesn't support the --json switch. I'll have to put a reminder in the docs about it. It should be supported in util-linux-2.27 onwards.
