[ubuntu-dev] Bug#744185: refuses to run: ValueError: bad marshal data (string ref out of range)

Control: reassign -1 python2.7

I think this has been fixed in python2.7 2.7.5-5. I'm guessing from the
ubuntu-dev-tools version that you're using wheezy, which doesn't have
the patch.

Right. Not an ubuntu-dev-tools bug.
