ok, it looked like the package was using dpatch, but upon further inspection, you are correct, it is using some weird cross-breed of a patch system. i was able to build the package outside of a vm, and the pybench test succeeded. so it looks like i can get rid of those changes. mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
