Here are some of them I've recorded: In May (this one was under Mac OS X), the python upgrade (2.4.3 -> 2.4.4) broken Mercurial: ImportError: No module named _locale In April, the upgrade of python2.4-minimal failed during configuration (and apt-get install -f didn't solve the problem). In June 2006, fail2ban dies with "unknown locale" error (the problem occurred with python2.3 and later versions, but not with python2.2). The fix was the following: 0.7. branch of fail2ban within testing/unstable has substantially different handling of dates, and doesn't rely on python's locale anymore which remains to be prone to this bug (see #369689 reassigned from fail2ban long ago). In February 2006, messages forwarded by Forte Agent got corrupted by getmail. The bug has never been identified (the author of getmail couldn't reproduce it with my testcase), but it is thought to come from some python version. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
