Binary package hint: python-meld3

The current packaged version (0.6.5-3build1) of python-meld3 is
incompatible with Python2.7 and so needs to be updated for Natty. A
similar problem was fixed for Fedora 14 (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=652890).

Updating the package to version 0.6.7 resolves this issue.

Below is the Python traceback received when attempting to start the
supervisord deamon which relies on meld3:


Unlinking stale socket /var/run/supervisor.sock

    from xml.etree.ElementTree import fixtag
ImportError: cannot import name fixtag

Uninstalling python-meld3 and reinstalling from source version 0.6.7 fixed the problem for me and should be addressed for the Natty release.
