Bug Description

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/VMBuilder/vm.py crashes on the line

mask = OxFFFF

where the initial character is a capital letter O rather than a zero. This caused the program to fail in Intrepid. Replacing that O with a zero corrected the problem.

The error is on line 281 in the file as distributed in Intrepid. The defect is in the upstream source, and is still present in the Jaunty source, at line 264 (without ubuntu patch).

Traceback:

By trial and error I found a minimal commandline that would reproduce the problem for me was: "vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --ip=141.212.112.9"

This bug was fixed in the package vm-builder - 0.11.3-0ubuntu3

---------------
vm-builder (0.11.3-0ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low

  * New patch, ssk-key-type-error, add parentheses as operator priority caused
    a TypeError in the format string of the user chown call in the
    install_authorized_keys() function; LP: #436835.
  * Add rsync dependency; LP: #314833.
  * Wrap build-deps and deps to get cleaner diffs.
  * Use Priority: optional.
  * Use launchpad.net/vmbuilder instead of code.l.n in copyright.
  * Downgrade devscripts dep to a Recommends as I believe this is only needed
    for rmadison in a Xen specific codepath, and it's rather heavy to install
    devscripts on servers; this needs to be confirmed though.
  * Depend on grub (legacy) as this is currently a hard requirement;
    LP: #331595.
  * Depend on qemu-kvm | qemu-kvm-extras instead of kvm | qemu as these are
    transitional packages nowadays.
  * New patch, ip-mask-typo, fixes typo in IP mask handling; LP: #313575; from
    r355.
  * Build-dep on python-all, not python-all-dev.
  * Bump up Standards-Version to 3.8.3.
  * Change Vcs-Bzr to XS-Upstream-Vcs-Bzr as the packaging is not kept in Bzr.
  * Add watch file.
  * Remove leftover VMBuilder/vcsversion.py.debdiff.
  * Move changes from 0.10-0ubuntu2 to sleep a little to leave a chance to
    loop devices to settle down to a new patch, settle-down-disk.

This bug still exists in karmic. You can use --mask 255.255.255.0 in the vm-builder command line as a workaround.
