Bug#338090: Broken python binding

[Manish Singh]

Package: python-vte
Version: 0.11.15-2
Severity: grave

Due to a bug upstream (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320931)
a python/vte.c generated for pygtk 2.8 is distributed with the tarball.
Since the date is newer than the other source files, it's not
regenerated, and the resultant binary does not work:

manish at peach:~$ python
Python 2.3.5 (#2, Aug 30 2005, 15:50:26)
[GCC 4.0.2 20050821 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.1-6)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import vte
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/vtemodule.so: undefined symbol: pyg_set_object_has_new_constructor

Until the bug is fixed in a new upstream release, a simple workaround
would be to remove python/vte.c via debian/rules or some other
mechanism.
