Just back in from vacation as of 02 DEC.
Thanks for your prompt resolution of this issue. The latest lava-tool package is once again working on my Ubuntu 12.04 installation and my scripts are once more operational.

The virtual environment in question is my Ubuntu 12.04 workstation...
not a
local LAVA server environment. So there is no lava deployment tool in
this
environment AFAIK. The lava tools were installed from binary packages found in a combination of the official Ubuntu repositories plus
"deb-amd64
http://ppa.launchpad.net/linaro-maintainers/toolchain/ubuntu precise
main"
and "deb-amd64
http://ppa.launchpad.net/linaro-maintainers/tools/ubuntuprecise
main".
I normally assume that any updates which come from the 12.04 distribution-compatible repositories should be a safe and reliable
upgrade,
and I try to stick with binaries from the official repositories rather
than
locally compiled packages in order to minimize packaging compatibility
and
upgrade issues. Why is a package for Ubuntu 12.04 requiring pyxdg ==0.25 when the latest pyxdg version available in the 12.04 repositories is 0.19-3ubuntu2 (which was already installed)? And why didn't this requirement get listed as a dependency in the package, flagged as an
unmet
dependency and prevent the package upgrade from occurring?
lava-tool used a feature of pyxdg that was not available at pyxdg 0.19. It was fixed to also work with pyxdg version 0.19 so you should be good now.
The fixed packages has been uploaded to the Linaro Tools PPA. Just upgrading should fix it for you.
