Bug Description

Binary package hint: cedar-backup2

This seems to be a Python 2.4/2.5 problem:
 From the build log:

Changes:
 cedar-backup2 (2.14.0-2ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low
 .
   * Included patch for compatibility with Python 2.5 (LP: #203978)
   * Added quilt as a build dependency, updated debian/rules

The problem was that Python 2.5 does not accept hex literals for floats anymore, but this was tested in constructor tests.
The fix is taken from upstream. (It's a small, isolated code change)

Debdiff attached.

It still FTBFS on my pbuilder. You have to adjust debian rules to apply quilt patches:
-build: build-stamp
+build: patch build-stamp
-clean:
+clean: unpatch

Also, you need to import hexFloatLiteralAllowed since your patch produce NameError exception:
NameError: global name 'hexFloatLiteralAllowed' is not defined

I'm sorry, I must have been overworked that day. I attached the wrong debdiff.
Here's the debdiff with quilt enabled and hexFloatLiteralAllowed imported.
