exception debian._deb822_repro.types.AmbiguousDeb822FieldKeyError

Bases: KeyError

Specialized version of KeyError to denote a valid but ambiguous field name

This exception occurs if:

  • the field is accessed via a str on a configured view that does not automatically resolve ambiguous field names (see Deb822ParagraphElement.configured_view), AND

  • a concrete paragraph contents a repeated field (which is not valid in deb822 but the module supports parsing them)

Note that the default is to automatically resolve ambiguous fields. Accordingly you will only see this exception if you have “opted in” on wanting to know that the lookup was ambiguous.

The ambiguity can be resolved by using a tuple of (<field-name>, <filed-index>) instead of <field-name>.

exception debian._deb822_repro.types.SyntaxOrParseError

Bases: ValueError

Specialized version of ValueError for syntax/parse errors.
