Try to remove pyxml and see if that fixes it. Yep - removed pyxml, and it works as expected! Is pyxml an old Python 2.2 package that's not needed with Python 2.3, or are other things likely to break by not having pyxml installed? I don't know what's wrong here exactly. In theory pyxml provides additional XML functionality to python, but for glsa.py it either hides bugs in python2.2 or introduces new problems. The recommended platform for glsa.py is just python2.3 without pyxml. @Python people: maybe you have an idea what's going on here. reemerging pyxml should help. Odd - I re-emerged pyxml before and I still had the problem. I've just done it again and the problem has gone away. Perhaps some other package I've merged since fixed it? Oh, well. I guess that unless anyone else has seen the problem it can be closed. Strange... |
