Dependency from python-kinterbasdb to python-egenix-mxdatetime is missing

can you please tell me the istructions to reproduce the bug?

Install python-kinterbasdb (ensure python-egenix-mxdatetime is *not installed).

Create a script "test.py":

#!/usr/bin/python
import kinterbasdb
con = kinterbasdb.connect(dsn='', user='', password='')

And execute:
python test.py

Result:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./fb-tool", line 8, in <module>
    con = kinterbasdb.connect(dsn='', user='', password='')
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/kinterbasdb/__init__.py", line 472, in connect
    return Connection(*args, **keywords_args)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/kinterbasdb/__init__.py", line 558, in __init__
    _ensureInitialized()
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/kinterbasdb/__init__.py", line 367, in _ensureInitialized
    init()
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/kinterbasdb/__init__.py", line 315, in init
    globalz, locals(), (chosenTypeConvModuleName,)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/kinterbasdb/typeconv_backcompat.py", line 17, in <module>
    from kinterbasdb import typeconv_datetime_mx
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/kinterbasdb/typeconv_datetime_mx.py", line 35, in <module>
    from mx import DateTime as mxDT
ImportError: cannot import name DateTime

Install python-egenix-mxdatetime.

And execute:
python test.py

Result:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./fb-tool", line 8, in <module>
    con = kinterbasdb.connect(dsn='', user='', password='')
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/kinterbasdb/__init__.py", line 472, in connect
    return Connection(*args, **keywords_args)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/kinterbasdb/__init__.py", line 609, in __init__
    (dsn, dpb, dialect) = self._build_connect_structures(**source_dict)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/kinterbasdb/__init__.py", line 638, in _build_connect_structures
    "Must supply one of:\n"
kinterbasdb.ProgrammingError: Must supply one of:
 1. keyword argument dsn='host:/path/to/database'
 2. both keyword arguments host='host' and database='/path/to/database'
 3. only keyword argument database='/path/to/database'

Error is expected because we did not supply anny connection parameters.
