Package: python-protobuf Followup-For: Bug #835271 Dear Maintainer,
this bug affects also all the software using python-axolotl like for instance gajim. For now I worked around the issue by downgrading to python-protobuf_2.6.1-2 which is still available in the archives: http://debian.sil.at/debian/pool/main/p/protobuf/ The reason why the OP does not see the issue in PyPy is in the code: https://github.com/google/protobuf/blob/2fe0556c7abbe31c02147b9171397737a35bfe3b/python/google/protobuf/pyext/descriptor.cc#L94 These new checks in 3.0.x (mainly that the file ends with "_pb2.py") are not executed when the module is compiled for PyPy. The problem may as well be in python-axolotl, I see that in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/axolotl/protocol/whisperprotos.py both descriptor and descriptor_pb2 are imported, but apparently with protobuf 3.0.x only the second one is supposed to be used directly. Any idea about how to proceed from here? I think this should be fixed ASAP.
