Bug#737108: python-gamin: mixed use of tabs and spaces in the gamin.py file causing syntax erros

[Matt Baker]

Package: python-gamin
Version: 0.1.10-4.1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream patch
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Running a contrib script supplied by the bcfg2 config management tool

   * What was the outcome of this action?

$ bcfg2-profile-templates.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/projects/cfgman/var/work/cmxmb/tags/PROD_STABLE/scripts/bcfg2-profile-templates.py", line 13, in <module>
    import Bcfg2.Server.Core
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Bcfg2/Server/Core.py", line 17, in <module>
    import Bcfg2.Server.FileMonitor
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Bcfg2/Server/FileMonitor/__init__.py", line 346, in <module>
    from Bcfg2.Server.FileMonitor.Gamin import Gamin
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Bcfg2/Server/FileMonitor/Gamin.py", line 6, in <module>
    from gamin import WatchMonitor, GAMCreated, GAMExists, GAMEndExist, \
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gamin.py", line 39
    err = _gamin.Errno()
                       ^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The script would run without an error returned from importing and using gamin
