[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#477431: bzrlib/patches.py gets in the way for configuration of python2.4-minimal

[Ingvar Hagelund]

Package: bzr
Version: 0.11-1.1
Severity: important

Upgrading python2.4 and python2.4-minimal breaks because bzr generates a file
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/bzrlib/patches.py that comes in the way for
the python2.4-minimal configure script. 

Workaround: Fetch a cup of coffee, remove bzr, watch python2.4-minimal configure
itself properly. Then reinstall bzr.

Consider the following screendump:
