One failure mode I would guess is that one check in package_checks.py
is passing an int instead of a unicode or a string object.

Try adding this patch and recreating the problem:

diff --git a/gar/v2/lib/python/checkpkg_lib.py
b/gar/v2/lib/python/checkpkg_lib.py
index 17f07aa..e319ec8 100644
--- a/gar/v2/lib/python/checkpkg_lib.py

What extra error tag do you get after adding this patch?
