Comment 26 for bug 680627

Marc, thank you for your work. Two questions.

One, you say this issue came about by switching from python-central to python-support. Is it possible that other packages are affected as well? Should this be fixed in python-support?

Two, you correctly remark that the only upgrade patch is via Lucid. From this you conclude (as I did initially) that Maverick and Natty are unaffected. But what about users that have already done karmic-lucid upgrade for example and moved on to maverick or even natty in the meantime? The workaround is easy enough to find in this ticket and I'm not sure the number of affected users is large enough to warrant a special solution for this. I'm merely pointing out the possibilities that there are users on maverick and natty that are affected by this. I leave it up to you to decide what to do.
