[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#585282: closed by Philipp Benner <philipp at debian.org> (Fwd: Re: Fw: Bug#585282: python-biopython: Python string exceptions no more allowed in Python 2.6)

[Sandro Tosi]

reopen 585282
thanks

Hi Philipp,
don't close bugs that are *not* actually fixed but will be only in
future releases of the package: close them when you'll upload it. As
of now, the package is buggy so this report has to be in 'open' state,
reopening now.

Regards,
Sandro
