Finally got this to work! In case anyone’s interested here was my solution:
Set python symbolic link to point to python 3:
sudo rm /usr/bin/python
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
Back-up copy of /usr/bin/repo:
sudo cp /usr/bin/repo /usr/bin/repo.bak
Download copy of repo from https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo to /usr/bin/repo replacing original /usr/bin/repo
Ran leaf getsrc swi-linux and got this error:

Ran leaf getsrc swi-linux one more time and it worked!
