bzr: would FTBFS whenever cython's version has alphabetic portion (e.g. beta)

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/683130:

Package: bzr
Version: 2.6.0~bzr6526-1
Severity: minor

you might like to patch/report upstream to make bzr cython version checking more robust. Currently it FTBFS with version (0.17.beta1) in experimental:

make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/buildd/bzr-2.6.0~bzr6526'
dh_auto_clean
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 205, in <module>
    pyrex_version_info = tuple(map(int, pyrex_version.rstrip("+").split('.')))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'beta1'

dh_auto_clean: python2.6-dbg setup.py clean -a returned exit code 1

My fault, I weakened the check that was incidentally added as part of bug 837221 when Cython changed versioning scheme, and then they changed it again. Have been carrying a patch locally that should have been landed.

bzr is now failing to build in Debian unstable due to this:
