you need to create a special wallet, that will contain only imported keys.
see https://electrum.orain.org/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_import_addresses_from_other_Bitcoin_clients.3F

Could you guys explain the reasoning behind this? I'm going to stick with 1.9.8 for now, because I have some imported addresses that are important to me.

I haven't looked at the code but at a quick guess I'd assume this is related to the change to HD wallets/BIP32. From the answer to the item you linked, "you cannot import addresses in a wallet that has a seed. You need to create a special wallet, that does not have a seed" -- the seed creates deterministic addresses in an HD/BIP32 wallet. So to handle the import of one-off addresses they have taken the route that you need a separate, non-HD wallet to hold them.

On debian 7 I get the following errors:

- When restoring a wallet using the command line the restore is successful but I get an assert error.

Exception in thread Thread-2 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown):
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 552, in __bootstrap_inner
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/electrum/verifier.py", line 115, in run
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Empty'

- I've installed the python-zbar package. Clicking tools > load transaction > from qr code leads to an error the first time I do it:

"ERROR: zbar processor in _zbar_video_open():
    system error: opening video device '/dev/video0': No such file or directory (2)"

Second time it causes a segmentation fault and electrum crashes.

While we're waiting for the Electrum 2.0 official release I was wondering... Will Electrum 2.0 have a "portable" version or mode? When I travel I like to have my wallet on a USB drive.

Pardon my confusion. I don't use Twitter. What's "tagged"?

It's more a github term than a twitter term, it just means the source code has been finalized and the installers are just around the corner.


Congrats!!

I had a problem with Animazing's signature of electrum-2.0.2-setup.exe.  I did not have a problem with Animazing's signature of electrum-2.0.2.exe so I don't believe this relates to my PGP software.

Sorry about that, I've remade the binaries at one point to fix a problem with Trezor support. Could you try downloading the signature again now and seeing if it fits?

The new version fixed the signature problem. Thanks.
