[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#517744: bzr fails to retrieve repository

[Helge Kreutzmann]

Package: bzr
Version: 1.5-1.1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: 502908 at bugs.debian.org


I recently tried to retrieve a bzr branch (on amd64) but my bzr was
too old[1]. Now I have a ppc machine available which has the Lenny
version but still bzr fails to retrive:

helge at twotofive:/scr/build/debian/cups$ bzr get bzr://bzr.debian.org/pkg-cups/cups/lenny
bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.ReadingCompleted: The MediumRequest '<bzrlib.smart.medium.SmartClientStreamMediumRequest object at 0x10700590>' has already had finish_reading called upon it - the request has been completed and no more data may be read.

*** Bazaar has encountered an internal error.
    Please report a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+filebug
    including this traceback, and a description of what you
    were doing when the error occurred.


I tried this with various variations (I intially tried to get the trunk, which is at 
http://bzr.debian.org/pkg-cups/cups/debian-trunk/, but here bzr fails as well:
bzr: ERROR: Transport error: Server refuses to fullfil the request
and replacing http->bzr yield again the same (or very similar) error).

So either I'm obviously making something very stupid wrong (but then
I'd expect some kind of error message) or bzr is broken in lenny
(which I can't belive). In the latter case the severity should be
raised, of course.
