[Python-apps-team] Bug#773143: src:gitinspector: FTBFS when using the default C locale

[Logan Rosen]

Package: src:gitinspector
Version: 0.3.2+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Dear Maintainer,

gitinspector currently FTBFS in a clean amd64 pbuilder with unstable sources due to an issue with the "lang" variable not being set properly when using the C locale.

There is an upstream patch that should fix this: https://code.google.com/p/gitinspector/source/detail?r=8755fb33dcb1

Below is the relevant portion of the build log:

I: pybuild base:170: python2.7 setup.py clean 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 22, in <module>
    from gitinspector.version import __version__
  File "/build/buildd/gitinspector-0.3.2+dfsg/gitinspector/version.py", line 27, in <module>
    import gitinspector.localization
  File "/build/buildd/gitinspector-0.3.2+dfsg/gitinspector/gitinspector.py", line 25, in <module>

  File "/build/buildd/gitinspector-0.3.2+dfsg/gitinspector/localization.py", line 50, in init
    filename = "/usr/share/gitinspector/translations/messages_%s.mo" % lang[0][0:2]
TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
E: pybuild pybuild:256: clean: plugin distutils failed with: exit code=1: python2.7 setup.py clean 

Thanks,
Logan Rosen
