In the meantime, the bug has been reported upstream by someone else: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597631
For those like me who don't want to wait for the fix to be applied upstream and make its way to Debian, a simple workaround is to change /usr/lib/svn.py as follows: --- svn.py.orig 2010-01-11 17:46:11.000000000 +0100 +++ /usr/lib/meld/vc/svn.py 2010-01-11 17:46:26.000000000 +0100 @@ -71,11 +71,13 @@ matches = [] re_status_moved = re.compile(r'^(A) +[+] +- +([?]) +[?] +([^ ].*)$') - re_status_vc = re.compile(r'^(.) +\d+ +(\?|(?:\d+)) +[^ ]+ +([^ ].*)$') + re_status_vc = re.compile(r'^(.) +\d+ +(\?|(?:\d+)) +[^/]+ +([^ ].*)$') re_status_non_vc = re.compile(r'^([?]) +([^ ].*)$') re_status_tree_conflict = re.compile(r'^ +> +.*') I hope that the mail client doesn't introduce spurious line wraps. In any case, the change is to replace a space " " with a dash "/" in the re_status_vc regexp. This is not a proper fix -- e.g. it won't work if meld stops using absolute paths, or if you have a username containing a slash. The approach suggested upstream, using the --xml option, is better. But the simple change above will at least fix the problem with current Debian or Ubuntu meld if you have spaces in usernames but no slashes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
