[Bug 1317660] Re: [SRU] Bug: AttributeError: 'error' object has no attribute 'errno'

[Barry Warsaw]

[Impact]

pexpect-based applications which can legitimately receive signals
interrupting system calls, will traceback in the pexpect library.

[Test Case]

See the attached files test.py and sleep.py.  Put them in the same
directory and chmod +x test.py.  Then run test.py.  In the unpatched
Trusty package, you'll see the traceback in pexpect/__init__.py.  In the
patched version of the package, no bogus AttributeError traceback
escapes to the top level.

[Regression Potential]

None anticipated.

Bug description:
  This bug has hit one user already:

  https://code.launchpad.net/~stephane-
  duchesneau/ubuntu/trusty/pexpect/errno_handling_fix/+merge/218813

  The fix is in upstream 3.2 which I've uploaded to Debian, so it should
  show up in Utopic.  I've backported the upstream patch into the Trusty
  branch (instead of the above merge proposal).  This bug tracks the SRU
  request for that patch.
