[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#504136: thuban: Changing map projections results in error

[Jonathan Niehof]

Package: thuban
Version: 1.2.0-2.1
Severity: normal

Reproduction:
Open Thuban. (Creating a new session and/or adding layers will not
affect this bug...it happens regardless of layers.)
On the "Map" menu, choose "Projection."
Select any projection (e.g. Belgian Datum 1972--this also happens when
defining a new datum from scratch.)
Click "Try" or "OK"
Internal error window pops up. Contents:
An unhandled exception occurred:
list must contain strings
(please report to http://thuban.intevation.org/bugtracker.html)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/thuban/Thuban/UI/projdialog.py", line 233, in OnApply
    self.__SetProjection()
