[Julian Taylor]

** Summary changed:

- Sync argparse 1.2.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)
+ FFe: Sync argparse 1.2.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

** Description changed:

  Please sync argparse 1.2.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)
  
  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  the delta has been applied in debian.
- Upgrading might introduce an upgrade bug similar to bug 793695.
- But at this point in development it is simplest to just ignore this problem.
- It does not affect the upgrade from natty to oneiric.
+ Upgrading might introduce an upgrade bug similar to bug 793695 in oneirc. It does not affect the upgrade from natty to oneiric.
+ To avoid this upgrade problem a preinst would have to be added to the debian package to remove some problematic symlinks before installation.
+ The issue was discussed with Barry Warsaw and we agree that at this point in development it is probably best to ignore this issue instead of carrying a delta.
  
- Changelog entries since current oneiric version 1.1-1ubuntu1:

Title:
  FFe: Sync argparse 1.2.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Status in “argparse” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Please sync argparse 1.2.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  the delta has been applied in debian.
  Upgrading might introduce an upgrade bug similar to bug 793695 in oneirc. It does not affect the upgrade from natty to oneiric.
  To avoid this upgrade problem a preinst would have to be added to the debian package to remove some problematic symlinks before installation.
  The issue was discussed with Barry Warsaw and we agree that at this point in development it is probably best to ignore this issue instead of carrying a delta.

  argparse 1.2.1 is a bugfix release so it should not introduce upstream
  regressions.
