Re: bug-buddy unicode compile error 2.14.2.1

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Morris,

You are running python-2.2, which is too old [take a look at the
DEPS-LIST document]. 

You will need to update to python-2.4.x. If updating the system version
of python is not feasible, consider an installation of python-2.4.3 in a
"safe" location, for example,

	/opt/python-2.4.3

After building and installing python-2.4.3, edit gar.conf.mk to use the
new version of python.
