Same here, minus the uploading bit.

Quick comments on those bugs for what might need moreinfo

#364002
    looks like missing DISPLAY

#325222
    I'm not sure what the OP is hinting at, current package in sid does
    the same as python2.3 console

#371829
    could be an opengl/driver problem, we'll see.

The other two importer bugs are best retested with 2.42 indeed.
