[Pkg-zope-developers] Bug#340542: zope2.8: invalid syntax in file breaks install

[Gustavo Noronha Silva]

Package: zope2.8
Version: 2.8.4-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Here's the problem:

Instalando zope2.8 (2.8.4-1) ...
Zope2.8: starting sandbox instance.
Compiling /usr/lib/zope2.8/lib/python/RestrictedPython/tests/before_and_after24.py ...
  File "/usr/lib/zope2.8/lib/python/RestrictedPython/tests/before_and_after24.py", line 30
    x = (y**2 for y in whatever if y > 3)
                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I had to use Ctrl+c, and then moved the file aside and ran
dpkg --configure -a.
