Got this error today when packaging even though nothing changed (well
something did, see below): `Failed to parse package info date from package
file: Bad data` on this hrev47395 install.
Digging, I found out that `package` is choking on a StyledEdit attribute
of the .PackageInfo file.. only now that it is combined with a Pe
attribute. Indeed a few days ago I transitioned from using StyledEdit to
exclusively using Pe, so I guess I'm now getting a double serving of
"caret position" attributes on my textfiiles :-).
Anyway the workaround was simply to "reset" the .PackageInfo file, create
a new one, free of text editor attributes. Filing a low-priority ticket in
case the underlying reason matters though..
