Bug#704084: libpython2.7-minimal: "from _sre import MAXREPEAT" fails, breaking reportbug and others.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Hi,

I get this when building a package in pbuilder. For some reason
python2.7-minimal and libpython2.7-minimal versions don't match, and I bet
that's what triggers this bug:

[...]
Setting up libpython2.7-minimal:i386 (2.7.4~rc1-3) ...
Setting up mime-support (3.52-2) ...
Setting up libpython2.7-stdlib:i386 (2.7.4~rc1-3) ...
Setting up libpython2.7:i386 (2.7.4~rc1-3) ...
Setting up libsm6:i386 (2:1.2.1-2) ...
Setting up python2.7-minimal (2.7.3-8) ...
