[Pkg-linaro-lava-devel] Bug#789552: lavapdu-daemon: API breakage in 'python-lockfile' version 0.9

[Ben Finney]

Package: lavapdu-daemon
Version: 0.0.4-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The ‘python-lockfile’ package in Debian has released in Debian Sid an
upstream version with an incompatible API to previous Debian releases.

This change was described in 2014-11, for example at
<URL:https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/python-modules-team/2014-November/022840.html>.
This bug report is part of a mass bug report announced 2015-06-05
<URL:lists.debian.org/msgid-search/85lhfzhud6.fsf at benfinney.id.au>.

Packages using the API in ‘lockfile’ prior to version 0.9 will fail
with the current ‘python-lockfile’ in Debian Sid.

Please do the following to resolve this bug:

* Work with your package's upstream to have the code support
  ‘lockfile’'s current API, if it doesn't already. Encourage them to
  release a new version with that support.

* Upload a new release of this package with a versioned dependency on
  “python-lockfile (>= 0.9)”.
