Arch Linux

Description:

This breaks libvirt packages which depend upon a working python library (virt-manager, cf. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37990?project=5&cat[0]=33&string=virt-manager)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:

Apply the prepare() phase of the PKGBUILD. Invoking the sed lines breaks generator.py which is part of libvirt-python:

"git diff generator.py"

-#!/usr/bin/python -u
+#!/usr/bin/python2 -u

To fix, replace the sed statements in PKGBUILD with an orderly patch, see this commit: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-python.git;a=commit;h=9d9e2513c09e7ba7474c94455e5f82b3d00e6396
