Package: python-central Version: 0.6.17 Followup-For: Bug #580070 I want to confirm that this bug is still present and there are additional strings that dpkg -S emits which cause the links_in_packages routine to fail. I have a mature machine and finally got around to updating dpkg on it to one of the modern extra verbose versions. Apparently some of the cruft built up over the years included a package which did not have an architecture specified. This caused pycentral to fail when it encountered the string "missing architecture".
I was able to fix this using the technique suggested by Athanasius. On line 1996 I inserted the following before the line.split call: if line == 'missing architecture': continue I second Athanasius' call for more robust checks in this section of code. This bug will continue to hit users with crufty machines, most likely in the middle of a large update/upgrade. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (800, 'unstable'), (300, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages python-central depends on: ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze5 interactive high-level object-orie python-central recommends no packages. python-central suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
