--- Begin Message ---Package: debsecan Version: 0.4.2 Severity: important For the last couple of days, I've noticed the 'debsecan' cron job bombing out, with the following message mailed to me: ---- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/debsecan", line 753, in ? rate_system(target, options, fetch_data(options), history) File "/usr/bin/debsecan", line 698, in rate_system pkg_version = Version(contents) File "/usr/bin/debsecan", line 92, in __init__ self.__parsed = self.__parse(version) File "/usr/bin/debsecan", line 111, in __parse raise ValueError, "invalid Debian version string" ValueError: invalid Debian version string ---- This started happening shortly after I upgraded the system from Python 2.3 to 2.4. After running 'debsecan' by hand, I noticed a tiny diagnostic (not included in the emailed output) suggesting that installing 'python-apt' would be helpful. I did, and the problem immediately went away. Checking with 'aptitude', I see that 'debsecan' merely Suggests 'python-apt', and does not Depend on it, thus resulting in the unhelpful output. Barring other considerations, I would recommend upgrading 'python-apt' to a Dependency and not simply a Suggestion. Either that, or fixing 'debsecan' such that it doesn't bomb out completely if 'python-apt' isn't present.
