Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu In python-coherence, coherence.upnp.core.utils.HeaderAwareHTTPClientFactory (coherence/upnp/core/utils.py) sub-classes twisted.web.client.HTTPDownloader (from package python-twisted-web), and in the process (uselessly )overrides the __init__ method and makes use of a "private" attribute. As a result, it broke when that attribute was dropped in a major release of Twisted. I think this bug is grave. Anything that uses utils.getPage is affected, which includes the internal control point; The default config and all of the examples fail predictably. It was reported in 664027[1] in March of 2012, but went unfixed and was released as part of wheezy, (the bug priority was "important"). The attached patch came from the corresponding upstream bug report[2], and has been well tested by myself and others (see replies to [1] and [2]). I just adopted coherence and have uploaded the fix to unstable, is there any chance a fix could make its way to stable-proposed-updates as well?
