[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#799277: jenkins-job-builder: AttributeError when updating jobs.

[bertagaz]

Package: jenkins-job-builder
Version: 1.3.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

After an upgrade to the 1.3.0 version of the package on a Jessie system, it's
now impossible to update the jobs in Jenkins.

Whenever we issue the `jenkins-job-builder update /etc/jenkins_job/jobs/`
command, we get this traceback:

INFO:root:Updating jobs in ['/etc/jenkins_jobs/jobs/'] ([])
INFO:jenkins_jobs.builder:Number of jobs generated:  36  
INFO:jenkins_jobs.builder:Reconfiguring jenkins job build_Tails_ISO_bugfix-10182-improve-i2p-notification

    self.jenkins_open(Request(reconfig_url, config_xml.encode('utf-8'),
AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'

The `jenkins-job-builder test` command works though. It seems there are bad
Type interactions with the python3-jenkins library, due to inconsistent usage
of the encode() or decode() methods.
