awesome
thanks for the quick fix.

do you think I can except a package for Ubuntu 20.04 ?
I will for sure test it as soon as available

[somekool (somekool)]

since 20.04 is LTS, unless Breezy 3.1 is scheduled to be released soon, it seems this bug fixed should be backported to 3.0

my two cents

[somekool (somekool)]

I confirm, I checkout the 3.1 branch locally and I could proceed with the command without errors

[somekool (somekool)]

I am getting a different error now

You also need the trunk version of lp:brz-debian.
