Comment 3 for bug 91871

At this point, the following expressions have the following values:
candidates[ie.revision]:

InventoryLink('mailconfigurenormal.zcml-20051031024101-91557621bcfb43e3', u'mail-configure-normal.zcml', parent_id='emperor-20051030145002-920a3c2f6ab83675', <email address hidden>')

ie:

InventoryLink('mailconfigurenormal.zcml-20051031024101-91557621bcfb43e3', 'mail-configure-normal.zcml', parent_id='emperor-20051030145002-920a3c2f6ab83675', <email address hidden>')

The only visible difference is that the second value is unicode in the first output, and a plain string in the second. But, they should compare equal.

I dug deeper, and altered the code to print out the state of candidates[ie.revision] and ie at this point, using the state that is compared in InventoryLink.__eq__ (actually InventoryEntry.__eq__).

The only difference was in text_size.

candidates[ie.revision].text_size is 0
ie.text_size is None
