Cannot reproduce this, is there an upstream bug or did you create the fix yourself?

[Comment 4 Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) 2009-06-21 09:26:23 UTC]

OK, reproduced in a chroot. Weird that with python 2.6 it seems to work again. Still, got any more information about the patch and the state of this at upstream?

[Comment 5 Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) 2010-04-24 19:48:52 UTC]

In 4.1.4-r1 the python dep was raised to 2.6 where it just works.
