Bug#457854: python-debian: PackageFile class yields objects of different types

[Antonio Terceiro]

Package: python-debian
Version: 0.1.8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

the PackageFile example currently crashes with a TypeError:

terceiro at morere:~$ python /usr/share/doc/python-debian/examples/packages/grep-maintainer terceiro
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/doc/python-debian/examples/packages/grep-maintainer", line 26, in ?
    if maint_RE.search(pkg['maintainer']):
TypeError: list indices must be integers

This happens because the __yield__ method in PackageFile class has two yield
statements, one 'yield pkg' and other 'yield dict(pkg)'.

The attached patch fixes the problem by putting dict() around 'pkg' in the
first yield.
