Package: pymsnt
Version: 0.11.3-5
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
While upgrading the pymsnt package, dpkg bails out in the pre-removal script:
dpkg: error processing pymsnt_0.11.3-5.1_all.deb (--install):
subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Starting MSN transport for Jabber: Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/share/pymsnt/src/main.py", line 331, in __init__
twistd.daemonize()
TypeError: daemonize() takes exactly 2 arguments (0 given)

dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
pymsnt_0.11.3-5.1_all.deb
The problem seems to be in line 331 of /usr/share/pymsnt/src/main.py:
twistd.daemonize()
Changing it to:
twistd.daemonize(reactor, os)
seems to make it start up.
