Package: live-magic
Version: 1.6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When trying live-magic on Debian Unstable I get an error in the last step of the wizard.
It tries to fork the 'live-magic-builder' process with vte. It then exits with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/live-magic", line 26, in <module>
    LiveMagic(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/LiveMagic/__init__.py", line 77, in __init__
    c.ready(options, args)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/LiveMagic/controllers/main.py", line 32, in ready
    self.do_show_build_window(lambda: gtk.main_quit())
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/LiveMagic/controllers/build.py", line 56, in do_show_build_window
    self.pid = self.view.vte_terminal.fork_command(cmd[0], cmd, None, os.getcwd())
TypeError: envv must be a sequence or a dictionary


Looks like a change in python-vte caused this (http://git.gnome.org/cgit/vte/commit/?id=56727a20b71cd5f960e468444ef544296ddc5edf),
so maybe this bug should be reassigned and fixed there....

But I worked around it with a tiny change in live-magic python code:

Closes: 533556
Changes: 
 live-magic (1.7) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Only delete build directory if we created it. This is not only safer, but
     fixes a weird bug where Live Magic deletes its own DebianLive Python module
     when run from Git (as that directory is considered a build directory).
   * Add missing import so we don't fail with a misleading error when GTK fails
     to initialise.
   * Revert back to using --preserve-env after reverting this in #491242. This
     seems a more robust way of ensuring that the child process can actually
     talk to X. We set the path manually in live-magic-builder to prevent the
     actual failure originally reported in #491242.
   * Update vte form_command calls to new API. Thanks to Jor <jor123@gmail.com>.
     (Closes: #533556)
   * Add support for squeeze and update "stable -> etch" in user interface and
     translations.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.2.
   * Bump Depends on live-helper to 1.0.5.
