Subject: [Bug 164947] update-manager fails to compile with python 2.4 on 
hardy


Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

I received the following error on attempting to upgrade to update-manager 
1:0.85.3:
Errors were encountered while processing:
 update-manager
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
Setting up update-manager (1:0.85.3) ...
Compiling /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py 
...
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py", 
line 452
    finally:
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

pycentral: pycentral pkginstall: error byte-compiling files (32)

dpkg: error processing update-manager (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 update-manager

The issue is that, in Python 2.4, you don't get try-except-finally - you
get try(try-except)-finally, but that's not what's in this file.

Changing the try-except-finally block to be a try-finally block with the
try-except as its contents (starting at line 414, ending at line 451)
fixes this problem.
