Hello marmuta, or anyone else affected,

Accepted python-distutils-extra into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-distutils-extra/2.34-0ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Precise:
Sorry, I can't really verify if this bug is fixed there, too many missing dependencies. Onboard builds for Python 3 only on Quantal.
The Python 2 build, using python-distutils-extra, still works with precise-proposed enabled in pbuilder.

Quantal:
Using python3-distutils-extra this bug is fixed for Onboard. Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately, without the above workaround, the build still fails in pbuilder. Different lines, but similar problems. I'll try to file bug reports later, but it boils down to any file read (auto.py:624) and print statement (auto.py:105 ) not being safe when run with LANG="C".

seems the same error than bug #995653 "unicode error", the testcase provided there works fine with the current version

    - debian/rules: Run Python3 tests under C locale, to expose more unicode
      errors.
    - auto.py: Fix *.ui detection to be robust for non-ASCII files.
      (LP: #1017468)

python-distutils-extra (2.33-0ubuntu0.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Backport 2.33-1 to precise as an SRU (LP: #1020017):
    - auto.py: Fix crash when encountering binary files with Python 3.
      (LP: #995653)
    - auto.py: Fix crash when encountering an UTF-8 Python source code file.
    - debian/local/python-mkdebian cleanups: (LP: #706051)
      - Don't use {XS, XB}-Python-Version.
      - Generate an up to date Standards-Version.
      - Generate build dep on debhelper (>= 8) as debian/compat is set to '8'
        and debhelper overrides are used.
      - No need to generate a build dep on cdbs.
    - debian/local/python-mkdebian: For projects using --prefix, install
      binaries into a .../bin/ subdirectory instead of into the main project
      directory. This avoids potential name collisions with local Python
      modules. Thanks to Michael Terry for the patch!
    - debian/local/python-mkdebian: Create copyright format 1.0 compatible
      copyright files. Thanks Andrew Starr-Bochicchio! (LP: #1002379)
    - debian/copyright: Update to copyright 1.0 format.
    - debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3.
    - python-mkdebian: Fix wrong kde4 ui file detection regular expression.
      Thanks Angelo Compagnucci! (LP: #1002076)
