Package: python-bs4
Version: 4.2.0-2
Severity: normal

was checking upcoming pandas release and ran into various tests failures...
e.g. https://github.com/pydata/pandas/issues/4214
seems to be resolved if I upgrade (via seamless uupdate) to 4.2.1 which has
following changelog

= 4.2.1 (20130531) =

* The default XML formatter will now replace ampersands even if they
  appear to be part of entities. That is, "<" will become
  "&lt;". The old code was left over from Beautiful Soup 3, which
  didn't always turn entities into Unicode characters.

  If you really want the old behavior (maybe because you add new
  strings to the tree, those strings include entities, and you want
  the formatter to leave them alone on output), it can be found in
  EntitySubstitution.substitute_xml_containing_entities(). [bug=1182183]

* Gave new_string() the ability to create subclasses of
  NavigableString. [bug=1181986]

* Fixed another bug by which the html5lib tree builder could create a
  disconnected tree. [bug=1182089]

* The .previous_element of a BeautifulSoup object is now always None,
  not the last element to be parsed. [bug=1182089]

* Fixed test failures when lxml is not installed. [bug=1181589]

* html5lib now supports Python 3. Fixed some Python 2-specific
  code in the html5lib test suite. [bug=1181624]

* The html.parser treebuilder can now handle numeric attributes in
  text when the hexidecimal name of the attribute starts with a
  capital X. Patch by Tim Shirley. [bug=1186242]
