Package: debtags
Version: 2.1
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
It occurs each time I do any sort of upgrade.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I ran dpkg --verify debtags.
* What was the outcome of this action?
It passed.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I was hoping it would give me more information about the error.
Note that there is no "position 349" on line number 592 in the file
"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/package.py" unless position 349 is the
349th. bit? I opened the file using ghex and line 592 appears to be "normal"
IMHO.
