Description

Currently, feature/jessie still installs our custom python-dbus 1.1.1-1+tails1, while Jessie has 1.2.0-2+b3.

We should:

  1. Test unpatched Jessie’s python-dbus for regressions (IIRC, our patch fixes a race condition exposed by Tails Installer)
  2. If the unpatched version works, perfect. Otherwise, forward-port our patch to Jessie’s python-dbus, build and upload to feature-jessie.

  • Target version set to Tails_2.0

Done the “forward-port our patch to Jessie’s python-dbus, build and upload to feature-jessie” part, because the outdated package (more spefically: its dependencies) prevented one to install legitimate Python stuff from the Debian archive, e.g. software-properties-gtk.

Actually, we don’t use D-Bus anymore in liveusb-creator:feature/jessie, and the dependency has been removed on the corresponding packaging branch => the Jessie-specific patched package was removed from our feature-jessie APT suite, and commit:42c4df2 ensures our Wheezy-specific one is not installed.
