Package: python2.7
Version: 2.7.2-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch upstream
To reproduce: build on Linux 3.0, check sys.platform
"linux3" (instead of "linux2) causes immediate problem for the
build of Python 2.7 itself (because "linux3" isn't handled)
- some extensions are not built
- some regression tests are skipped
Other software that uses sys.platform, e.g. for configuration,
will fail in strange ways, for example chromium-browser FTBFS.
This problem affects any Python (2.6, 2.7, 3.2) in Debian.
Patch attached (use "linux2" even on Linux 3.x).
Cheers, Roderich
