** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: bcfg2
+ 
+ Original report:
  
  Is there any way we can get the bcfg2/bcfg2-server packages at
  https://launchpad.net/~bcfg2/+archive/ppa synced to lucid since the
  current packages are very broken (see bug #421308)? These packages have
  been tested by multiple users and are preferred in favor of the very old
  version that is currently packaged.
  
+ 1. The bcfg2/bcfg2-server packages are completely unusable due to a python 
version upgrade (see bug #421308).
+ 2. Support for more recent versions of python was added upstream in the 1.x.x 
series. The 11.04 release has 1.1.1-2ubuntu1 which is tested and working.
+ 3. The changes from the 0.9.6 series to the 1.x.x series were extremely 
significant and it would be easier to do a new upload than a diff on the 0.9.6 
series.
+ 4. TEST CASE:
+     sudo aptitude install bcfg2-server
+     sudo bcfg2-admin init
+     (follow onscreen instructions)
+     sudo bcfg2-server
+ Note that this test case will show the problem in the broken 0.9.6 packages 
whereas the 1.1.1-2ubuntu1 package will run the server successfully.
+ 5. There is no chance of regression issues since the currently packaged 
version is completely unusable.
+ 
  Thanks!
