Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This seems to be the third failure based on python-configparser. See also LP: #1038429 and LP: #1156704. python-configglue pulls this in now. I will spend some time trying to figure out a solution to the -configparser breakages.

Thank you, yes, right now I can't sync to U1 from my main laptop, that's
not good.
