Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-distutils-extra

I detected this problem in Apport.

assert DistUtilsExtra.auto.__version__ >= '2.2', 'needs DistUtilsExtra.auto >= 2.2'

#!/bin/python
import DistUtilsExtra.auto, operator

a = '2.2'
b = '2.10'

if operator.le(a, b):
    print 'cool'
elif a > b:
    print 'bad'

if DistUtilsExtra.auto.__version__ >= 2.2:
    print 'bad'
elif DistUtilsExtra.auto.__version__ >= 2.10:
    print 'cool'

  * Merge bug fixes from trunk:
    - hookutils.py, attach_hardware(): Do not attach empty Pccardctl*.
    - apport/ui.py: Show a better message when failed connection to crash
      database. Thanks to Marco Rodrigues! (LP: #178507)
    - Do not throw away stderr from gdb.
    - data/general-hooks/parse_segv.py: Handle arithmetic wrapping correctly.
    - backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: More robust of missing ExecutablePath
      due to outdated packages.
    - setup.py: Fix DistUtilsExtra version check. (LP: #428337)
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Add distribution channel descriptor, as per
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/Specs/OemTrackingId .
  * data/general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Do not allow users to file bugs against
    upgrade-system if the package isn't actually installed. Way too many
    upgrade failures get wrongly reported against this. (LP: #404727)
  * debian/rules: Entirely drop obsolete dh_installinit call.
