You forgot to replace the '?' with the right number ? :)

I don't fully understand how you installed 2.3b2 there ? Guesses on IRC
concluded you installed from the tarball and a 'setup.py install'.

There is nothing wrong with that, but it also requires being aware of
such compatibility problems and be ready to run the plugins themselves
from source (bzr-svn and bzr-rewrite trunks already carry the necessary
fix).

An alternative is to subscribe to the beta ppa which will provides a
coherent set of plugins. There is a work in progress to update it to
2.3b2 (it should contain a 2.3b1 and compatible plugins right now).

You may also encounter transient problems here, but they will be fixed
by the packagers themselves (you're welcome to join though ;).
