Package: python-lzma Version: 0.5.3-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hello!
python-lzma fails with a ValueError exception if you try to set the 'check' option to any of the accepted values as stated in the documentation. I have attached an example script to demonstrate the problem. This bug was reported upstream quite a while ago now, here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pyliblzma/+bug/1243344, but remains unfixed. I have recently forwarded my patch though, here: https://code.launchpad.net/~e7appew/pyliblzma/bugfix-1243344. I will soon make my fix to the Debian package along with other changes in the 'bugfixes' branch of this repo: https://github.com/e7appew/python-lzma.git.
