[Julian Taylor (jtaylor)]

you need to install python-zmq in order for ipcluster to work, the package is missing a lacking error message in this case.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package ipython - 1.2.1-2

---------------
ipython (1.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debianize-error-messages.patch: fix no zmq message to raise an exception
  * depend on build-essential instead of gcc for tests
