Package: python2.3-libxml2 Version: 2.6.16-3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I installed python2.3-libxml2 as a dependency package and removed it again sometime later. I also use straw as a rss reader an suddenly it failed to fetch new data after a restart (see below). But straw was still working in a clean sid chroot, so I dug... It seems, python2.3-libxml2 does not bytecompile its files in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages on its own, but somehow I got bytecompiled files (*.pyc and *.pyo for every *.py file), probably due to a python update which recompiled everything. These files were left over on the package purge causing straw to hiccup. Please read the Debian Python Policy, especially "2.5 Modules Bytecompilation" how to correctly bytecompile and clean up: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-module_packages.html#s-bytecompilation Straw was displaying the errormessage "'module' object has no attribute 'create_parser'" in the gui and the following Traceback on the console it was started at: PollManager.py:195:http_results: exception in summaryparser Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/PollManager.py", line 193, in http_results parsed = straw.SummaryParser.parse(data, self._feed) File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/SummaryParser.py", line 47, in parse parsed_content = feedparser.parse(content) File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/feedparser.py", line 2152, in parse saxparser = xml.sax.make_parser(PREFERRED_XML_PARSERS) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/xml/sax/__init__.py", line 81, in make_parser return _create_parser(parser_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/xml/sax/__init__.py", line 106, in _create_parser return drv_module.create_parser() AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'create_parser' Ingo - -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (800, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-schwan20050302 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages python2.3-libxml2 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libxml2 2.6.16-3 GNOME XML library ii python2.3 2.3.5-1 An interactive high-level object-o -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCP7ew4XrXtQkN2NURAoL2AKCkM5TMWml0D5CUrbcYv7HvgyYIXQCeJ0LF SlHc9WV/+AsscB5T8IpvnFQ= =SKtk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
