Package: python-lzma
Version: 0.5.3-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello!
python-lzma fails with a ValueError exception if you try to set
the 'check' option to any of the accepted values as stated in the
documentation. I have attached an example script to demonstrate the
problem.
This bug was reported upstream quite a while ago now, here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pyliblzma/+bug/1243344, but remains
unfixed. I have recently forwarded my patch though, here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~e7appew/pyliblzma/bugfix-1243344.
I will soon make my fix to the Debian package along with
other changes in the 'bugfixes' branch of this repo:
https://github.com/e7appew/python-lzma.git.
Best regards,
Carlos
