Package: vim-youcompleteme
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

I usually use the upstream version with tern enabled, but after my
latest dist-upgrade it stopped working and kept printing "ValueError:
bad marshal data (unknown type code)" at the bottom of the vim window. I
tried rebuilding the plugin, downgrading from vim 8.0 (unstable) to 7.4
(testing) and also installing this Debian package instead of using
upstream, but I kept getting the same error.

I couldn't find any YouCompleteMe-specific references to this error
message on Google, but the search revealed that it's python-related, so
I tried rebuilding upstream with python3 (python3 ./install.py ...) and
this seems to have cured it. So it would probably be a good idea to
migrate this package and ycmd to python3 now.
