Bug#457697: python-debian: ValueError in debian_bundle.debian_support.updateFile

[Mike O'Connor]

Package: python-debian
Version: 0.1.6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

When I try to use debian_bundle.debian_support.updateFile, I get the
following exception:

stew at tang:~$ /tmp/test_updateFile.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/test_updateFile.py", line 9, in ?
    updateFile( remote, local, True )
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/debian_bundle/debian_support.py", line 399, in updateFile
    for (field, value) in fields:
ValueError: too many values to unpack

Attached are two files, test_updateFile.py is a small test case that
demonstrates the problem. fix_updateFile.diff is a patch which fixes
this problem.

thanks,
stew
