According to Mike on IRC, this is because
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages changed to
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages, and the daklib package need to
adjust to use the new path.

No ftpmasters had time, but I got some help from Mike and Jonathan on
IRC, and discovered that the PostgreSQL database used by dak was no
longer available. It was stored in version 7.4 available in Etch, and
version 8.4 was now installed on the machine. Installed the 7.4
version from Lenny, dumped the SQL database, and loaded it into 8.4.
The SQL backups are in /var/backup/ now.
With this in place, I get these errors, which seem to be due to old
Python code:

Anyone have any idea how to proceed from here? Fetch a newer version
of dak, perhaps?
