Impossible to import nevow on edgy

[Mary Gardiner]

There are a number of importation warnings, but there's also a complete import failure at the end:

[Jean-Paul Calderone (exarkun)]

This happens on my Edgy install as well.

[Mary Gardiner (puzzlement)]

Moving to confirmed. As far as I can tell the intended fix was the
same as that for bug 57482 (ie upload 0.9) but it was never applied.

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

This doesn't happen on Feisty using nevow 0.9.0-0.1

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

nevow 0.9.0-0.1 didn't quite make it in Edgy. We can open a backport task for it though.

[Martin Meredith (mez)]

more than likely a candidate for SRU... did it work in breezy?

[John Dong (jdong)]

Agreeing with Martin -- this should be SRU. Backports will only handle this if MOTU refuses to SRU it.
