Comment 4 for bug 1657238

Wow, there were two issues in the backported debian patch (fixed in the branch mentioned above).

I still don't understand what issue you're encountering though.

It looks like your python version is ... unsual as if the fix works it should mean your python's re module doesn't have a finditer method which was introduced in python 2.2...

So it would help if you could report the output of:

BZR_DEBUG=1 bzr revno

that may provide a bit more info about which path is triggering that AttributeError.
