It does indeed help. Thanks for providing a succinct reproduce script and some bounds for investigation. A git bisect points at this commit as being the problem: 28530e3c1af3aab92f5860c5825ab7fb09e46182 is the first bad commit commit 28530e3c1af3aab92f5860c5825ab7fb09e46182 Author: John Wright <j...@google.com> Date: Thu Aug 28 20:57:56 2014 -0700 Drop support for python2.5. This allows us to do fewer import hacks in deb822. (Probably other modules as well, but I've only touched deb822.) :040000 040000 f1a7782f9b7e44c6a8d093e3eb226b1d3170c279 ec23b2a36ec7426e45e1f83b1907c6b6dc3b6052 M debian :040000 040000 9fd436000e900cb6096793d62f4651e3afd9f18e 615391b466fcb203c4ad80dcd4e4b4dbdc0bca6a M lib http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-python-debian/python- debian.git/commit/?id=28530e3c1af3aab92f5860c5825ab7fb09e46182 I have to say that nothing in that commit jumps out to me as being the problem. cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
