[gfsd] Quagga: Type errors

[Aaron S. Hawley]

I intalled a testbed (have others been successful?).

Have the dependencies for Quagga changed since last year?  I use
Debian/unstable.

I have:
Apache/1.3.29
mod_python/2.7.10
Python/2.1.3+
MySQLdb/0.9.2 and 0.9.1

MySQLdb seems to be giving the date-related values from the database as
DateTime objects, which can't be implicitly converted to strings.  Here
are some selected errors I'm seeing:

---
File "/var/www/directory/display-entry.py", line 276, in display_entry
    req.write (' released on ' + x[2] + '</td></tr>')

TypeError: cannot add type "DateTime" to string
---
File "/var/www/search/fsd-search.py", line 188, in print_result
    req.write(font("black", "Updated: " + r['updated'], 2))

TypeError: cannot add type "DateTime" to string
---
File "/var/www/directory/display-entry.py", line 389, in display_entry
    verify = verify + ' on ' + program['license_verified_on']

TypeError: cannot add type "DateTime" to string
---

and in places where the call str() was wrapped around these values (for
example line 183 of display-entry.py), the date is displayed from here as
"2004-03-23 00:00:00.00"

what is www.gnu.org doing differently? i see it uses:

Apache/1.3.26
mod_python/2.7.8
Python/2.1.3
