[Systems] python-xapian on sunjammer

[Sayamindu Dasgupta]

I think the Pootle problem has been fixed now:

Due to a unhandled corner case in the PO file parser used by Pootle
(http://bugs.locamotion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=960) the already large
Etoys file had got extremely huge (each edit added yet another
misformatted line to the PO file), and at a certain point, the file
grew so large, that the PootleServer process choked on it. I cleaned
up the files (got rid of the garbage in between), and hopefully that
will solve the problem (I'm still keeping my fingers crossed though...
:-).

Thanks,
Sayamindu
