As of rootstrap 0.3.24-5, any failure in a rootstrap module triggers
throwing a string exception in builder. With Python 2.6, this gets
particularly annoying since the interpreter throws a TypeError
("exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from BaseException,
not str") that masks rootstrap's error message.
Please find attached a patch against the builder script of 0.3.24-5
Cheers,
Riccardo
