problems installing latest pychess .deb releases on Debian

[GoogleCodeExporter]

zepler on FICS said he was unable to install the .deb pychess packages on his 
Debian Stable machine. His email:

I use Debian 7 Wheezy which is the current Debian Stable. The available pychess 
version in the Debian Stable repositories is 0.10.1-1 (see: 
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=pychess) and in unstable it is 
0.12~beta3-1. I have installed and run successfully 0.12rc2-1 by downloading 
the package "pychess_0.12rc2-1_all.deb" and using gdebi. As you can see below I 
have copied the lines from my terminal and there were some errors during 
installation. However the installation finished and I have the 0.12rc2-1 
version running for a week now.

Copy/paste from the terminal starts here:

Created and uploaded a new rc3 .deb on latest Debian stable. (The previous one 
was created on Ubuntu 14.04)
