Package: python2.6
Version: 2.6.5+20100529-1
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable
While trying to upgrade python2.6 to version 2.6.5+20100529-1 there is an error
during the execution of the post-install script:
TypeError: ('compile() expected string without null bytes',)dpkg: error
processing
python2.6 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
In order to find out where it failed, I modified the postinst script as follows:
#! /bin/sh -e
files=$(dpkg -L python2.6 | sed -n '/^\/usr\/lib\/python2.6\/.*\.py$/p')
for file in $files
do
echo "Processing '$file'"
python2.6 /usr/lib/python2.6/py_compile.py $file
done
Running that script indicated it failed at the folling file:
Processing '/usr/lib/python2.6/io.py'
Sorry: TypeError: ('compile() expected string without null bytes',)
This error prevent the installation of this package (and therefor
libpython2.6),
so I've set the severity to grave.
Regards,
Diederik
