When I say "somehow missing" I'm not referring to the K (known fail). I'm
referring to exceptions and tracebacks caused by trying to import test_X for
various value of X: the modules were actually missing. I've never seen that
before, so I was quite shocked. Normally I build on the oldest version of Mac
OS X I can for the desired binary, but in this case I wanted to see what would
happen if I built on 10.7 for a binary that works on 10.6 and 10.7. It resulted
in this odd situation: the binary installed everything correctly on 10.7 but
somehow failed to install some sub-packages on 10.6. Unfortunately I don't have
time to look into it right now; I just took the simple way out of building
again on 10.6. Unfortunately that meant a binary with known issues was up for a
few hours. I do have the defective binary installer if anyone wants a look at
it.
