[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#476965: libboost-python1.34.1: use python 2.5 version of libboost_python-gcc42-1_34_1.so.1.34.1

[Filippo Giunchedi]

Package: libboost-python1.34.1
Version: 1.34.1-11
Severity: normal

Hi,
now that python 2.5 is the default
libboost_python-gcc42-1_34_1.so.1.34.1 should point to the 2.5 version
otherwise it is unusuable. E.g.

$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 16 2008, 23:58:07) 
[GCC 4.2.3 (Debian 4.2.3-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pyexiv2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyexiv2.py", line 59, in <module>
    import libpyexiv2
ImportError: /usr/lib/libboost_python-gcc42-1_34_1.so.1.34.1: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4

and indeed:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     43 2008-04-20 14:20 /usr/lib/libboost_python-gcc42-1_34_1.so.1.34.1 -> libboost_python-gcc42-1_34_1-py24.so.1.34.1

in fact:

$ python2.4
imPython 2.4.5 (#2, Apr 16 2008, 22:26:02) 
[GCC 4.2.3 (Debian 4.2.3-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pyexiv2
>>> 

thanks,
filippo
