Well, this is interesting -- I've never used apt-src before :)

I've tried this now and applied the changeset, but still get the same
error on Ibex. I've managed to find a Ubuntu Hardy machine and on that
the build seems to work. For some odd reason my other Python code runs
vastly slower, but no matter. It would be useful to track this problem
down and fix it though, if that's possible.

Many thanks,

Sarah
