Hi,

Some python versions have been shipping a bogus tarfile module
http://mail.nexedi.com/pipermail/erp5-dev/2006-November/000744.html

We use to build rpms for python2.4.3 with a patch, but now the bug has 
been fixed, python2.4.4 packages from mandriva are OK, so we use 
python2.4 from mandriva.
Updating your python installation may fix this issue.

Lukas announced some .deb packages, apparently he uses the default 
python installation:
