Comment 3 for bug 80195

This breaks a fair bit of Zope 3 functionality. Adding most new items through the ZMI triggers this error, for example, making it somewhat unusable. SchoolTool also doesn't work. One would assume it breaks others as well.

This is a regression from Dapper, as it is caused by a change in Python 2.4.4. It is fixed in Feisty, as a similar fix (but for Zope 3.3) was committed to Debian (as shown above) and then synced into Feisty.

Thus, I request that this be considered for a stable release update. I've attached a debdiff which I have tested on a number of Edgy machines. The patch is taken directly from an upstream commit, and has little or no potential for regressions.
