[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

That syntax error was fixed in 3.4.1. Looks like you hit it when going from 3.3 to 3.4, but 3.4.2 should have installed cleanly atop that. Perhaps your cache was out of date? Try upgrading again.

[Edward Donovan (edward.donovan)]

Yeah, I had this problem, then a subsequent upgrade took care of things, as Bryce described. Thanks.
