[Pkg-bazaar-maint] bzr build failure on mips

[Reinhard Tartler]

Hi,

I investigated
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=bzr&ver=0.90-1&arch=mips&stamp=1189412034&file=log, here are my results:

 * bzr build depends on python-celementtree | python (>> 2.5).
 * the chroot has python installed
 * sbuild detects that and therefore considers the alternative build
   depends to be satisfied by python.
 * sbuild then does a version check and finds out that python 2.4 is
   installed.
 * the source dependencies are not satisfied and therefore the build
   is failed

The obvious solution here would be to fix sbuild to not stop at this
point, but to go a step back and try satisfying the dependency by
python-celementtree.

Since mips is the only architecture bzr is waiting for, I'd like to ask
you to look at the issue and upload a bzr package for mips at your
earliest conveninence.

I'm considering looking at sbuild to implement the above
approach. However, I have the impression that the buildd maintainers
don't have much interest in external patches, since from what I've heard
the sbuild package found in unstable is not used, but the original
version from neuro is in place. Please correct me here if I'm wrong.
