Thanks for the patch! But... python-debian actually conflicts with python-apt (<< 0.7.94~), since versions before that either don't have TagFile or have a broken implementation. Are you also suggesting getting rid of the conflicts given this patch? I'm just a bit confused about what problem you're trying to solve, because with only this patch, a system with old python-apt could run the test suite and build the package, but the resulting package couldn't be installed on that system. :) (FWIW, I'm actually ok with removing the conflicts, since I think the TagFile interface is the only reason I added it in the first place. I'm not really worried about someone having the one broken version of python-apt installed.) -- John Wright <j...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
