I realize that this is possibly not the best place for it. How would it be best to surface that information for you, so you would have noticed it?

Every subsequent version of python-sqlparse has broken something, so we upgrade that dependency very conservatively.

On your system, something - probably a Twisted plugin from some other package which is neither Twisted nor CalendarServer - is pulling in twisted.internet.address before this code can run. Can you run 'python -vvvv `which twistd` caldavd --help' and look for imports of the twisted.internet.address module? > I did several tests, but at the end I "fixed it" by removing the RuntimeError > exception. Hmm. Rather than removing the exception you should avoid doing the patches as well. This will break IPv6 support but otherwise things should work. You can restore that functionality by just upgrading to a current version of Twisted, anyway. > [4] The logging in the patch did not work, it can be left out. > I probably do not use the log as it is meant to be used. > > I added a printout in the twext/backport/internet/tcp.py > and it got printed, so I assume that the patching went fine. > > Lastly psutil in Debian is version 0.5.1 and version 0.6.0 is needed to > have virtual_memory method. [5] Once again, we have a lot of dependencies and we don't support a wide range of versions of them, especially when subsequent versions have features that we need :). > I have not yet backported the change to 4.1.1 but do not expect problems, I > just > wanted to check if the change (removing the exception) is reasonable ? > > If ok, I will prepare the 4.1.1 debian package and put it online for testing. I guess these changes are OK, but please put everything into Trac so we can eventually integrate your changes (or alternate fixes to those problems) so you do not have to carry a lot of patches in Debian.
