pybindgen can't build on Ubuntu 1210 due to a deprecated function of python bzrlib used in pybindgen rev:809, which is specified in current ns-3-dev.

Traceback (most recent call last):

the following patch will solve the issue. though I've only tested under Ubuntu 12.10 64bits.

# I think this bug is critical if we're going to support Ubuntu 1210 (and coming Ubuntu 1304).
