Thanks David for the explanation. So I am not going to do anything for this bug. However, if anyone knows what to do, please let us know. Feel free to discuss it on the debian-python mailinglist and then fix the package in our svn. Thanks, Ondrej -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
