looks like you broken installation (the libinstall target hasn't been updated);
from comp.lang.python:
 gregory at home:~$ python
 Python 2.5a0 (#1, Dec 14 2005, 14:11:55)
 [GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2)] on linux2
 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/xml.py", line 20, in <module>
 import xmlcore
 ImportError: No module named xmlcore
 >>>
(works under trunk, but not after installation)
you also broke my subversion:
$ svn up
svn: subversion/libsvn_ra_svn/marshal.c:434: vwrite_tuple: Assertion `opt || cstr' failed.
Aborted
(but that's probably not your fault).
has anyone seen this error? any ideas on how to fix it?
