Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock Please unblock package python-apt Since the version of testing, this contains mostly bug fixes and many translation updates, but also (starting with 0.8.5) one new module (apt.auth) which is a cleaned up version of an internal software-properties module (and not used by any code in unstable AFAIK). The versions 0.8.5 and 0.8.6 FTBFS due to this new module, as it did not pass the test suite due to two bugs: (1) missing build-time dependency on version 0.9.6 of apt (and outdated buildds) [fixed in 0.8.6], and (2) because it combined the stderr and stdout of the apt-key command it calls which fails to work on kFreeBSD if LD_PRELOAD is set, as gpg (which is run by apt-key) is setuid there [and we use fakeroot for the apt.auth tests, so it fails]. The latter was fixed in 0.8.7. unblock python-apt/0.8.7 -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
