No worries. :-) >> It looks like mitmproxy and bdfproxy are also affected > Well, no: the newer construct was uploaded specifically so a recent > mitmproxy can be packaged and re-enter testing. >From upstream git, it seems that the construct dependency has been removed entirely, but that happened after 2.0.2. To avoid breakage on partial upgrades, some versioned Breaks need to be added, see attached patch. - mitmproxy: Versions below 1.0 affected (as per upstream git) - bdfproxy: not affected directly, bogus dependency - ironic-inspector: not affected, only used construct 2.8+, should declare versioned dependency, bug filed - plaso: workaround added - dfvfs: workaround added - dfwinreg (not on the list before): workaround added Cheers, -Hilko
