[ubuntu-dev] Bug#648229: gdebi: Can't mix 'X-Python-Version: all' and dh_python2

[Michael Terry]

Package: gdebi
Version: 0.8.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu precise ubuntu-patch

With dh_python2, one can't use the 'all' keyword in X-Python-Version anymore.  See http://wiki.debian.org/Python/TransitionToDHPython2

When using the all keyword, Ubuntu noticed a FTBFS due to the following dh_python2 crash:

dh_python2 /usr/share/gdebi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/dh_python2", line 699, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/dh_python2", line 601, in main
    dependencies.parse(stats, options)
  File "/usr/share/python/debpython/depends.py", line 147, in parse
    self.depend("python%s" % vrepr(vr[0]))
  File "/usr/share/python/debpython/version.py", line 247, in vrepr
    and isinstance(value[0], int):
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable


Using the attached patch makes the error go away.

Thanks for considering it!
