Bug 211706 – gentoolkit/gentoolkit-0.2.4_rc3: depends on >=dev-lang/python-2.0, should be >=dev-lang/python-2.5

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Jan Kuipers 2008-02-28 09:52:17 UTC]

gentoolkit/gentoolkit-0.2.4_rc3 depends on >=dev-lang/python-2.0, but glsa-check uses email.mime.text, which was introduced in python-2.5, hence it should depend on that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. glsa-check -m affected
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
# glsa-check -m affected
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/glsa-check", line 311, in ?
    from email.mime.text import MIMEText
ImportError: No module named mime.text


Expected Results:  
only mailed output.

Python-2.5 changes the location of the import, but it's still there in earlier versions.

Please test this patch.

Result after patch: 

# glsa-check -m affected
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/glsa-check", line 349, in ?
    myattachments.append(MIMEText(str(myfd.getvalue()), _charset="utf8"))
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
