Description

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

Building 38 beta 7, we had some issues wrt reconfig. We didn't receive any email about it.
We had two issues:
1) the locales were not updated for release
"2015-04-23 22:05:03,339 : ERROR : error checking l10n changeset https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-release/de/file/8743
94ae620d: 404 Not Found"

2) a reconfig issue (causing a python error + bt)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/builds/buildbot/build1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/buildbot-0.8.2_hg_808f68cc2960_production_0.8-py2.7.egg/buildbot/scripts/runner.py", line 1042, in doCheckConfig

    return str(max(StrictVersion(v) for v in partialVersions if v != version))
ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence 

For both errors, we didn't receive any emails, leaving relman in the dark.

Both of those are done by release-sanity, so I'm going to dupe over to 1149316.

Pardon me, release-runner.
