[Python-modules-team] Bug#775746: python-genshi: Bug in Genshi i18n.py prevents uploading attachments in Trac

[Johannes Weißl]

Package: python-genshi
Version: 0.7-3
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

A bug in Genshi prevents uploading attachments in Trac for users with non-
English language settings ("IndexError: pop from empty list"). The tickets in
Trac and Genshi are:
- http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/11184
- http://genshi.edgewall.org/ticket/566

Since this bug greatly affects the usability of the trac package in Debian
Jessie, would you consider to apply the patch from upstream? This is the
commit:

http://genshi.edgewall.org/changeset/1243?format=diff&new=1243

I tested the patch in our production environment and confirmed that it works
and solves the bug.

Regards,
Johannes Weißl
