Local Packages

Not a good day from a QA point of view.

There's a new release of dkms (2.0.12), but the upstream spec file wants to package a README.dkms that's not included in the tarball.
Update: This has since been fixed by releasing an updated tarball.

There's also a new release of bittorrent (4.20.1) but the curses client doesn't work: 

$ bittorrent-curses bordeaux-DVD-x86_64.torrent
bittorrent-curses.py After import _
bittorrent-curses.py after imports
bittorrent-curses.py __main__
bittorrent-curses.py parse_confi...: uiname= bittorrent-curses
bittorrent-curses.py: create CursesTorrentApp
> /usr/bin/bittorrent-curses(397)__init__()
-> assert isinstance(metainfo, ConvertedMetainfo )
(Pdb)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bittorrent-curses", line 588, in ?
    app = CursesTorrentApp(metainfo, config, errlist)
  File "/usr/bin/bittorrent-curses", line 397, in __init__
    assert isinstance(metainfo, ConvertedMetainfo )
  File "/usr/bin/bittorrent-curses", line 397, in __init__
    assert isinstance(metainfo, ConvertedMetainfo )
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/bdb.py", line 48, in trace_dispatch
    return self.dispatch_line(frame)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/bdb.py", line 67, in dispatch_line
    if self.quitting: raise BdbQuit
bdb.BdbQuit

... and neither does the GUI: 

$ bittorrent
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bittorrent", line 75, in ?
    from BitTorrent.platform import os_version, is_frozen_exe, win_version_num
ImportError: cannot import name win_version_num

It'd be nice if upstream shipped a changelog, responded to bug reports like they used to do, etc. I get the impression they only try things on Windoss before issuing releases these day.
