Bug#481977: python-gtk2: _gtk.so: undefined symbol: PySignal_SetWakeupFd

[Bernd Zeimetz]

Package: python-gtk2
Version: 2.12.1-3
Severity: important

After updating python-gtk2 from 2.12.1-1 to 2.12.1-3 the following
import error occurs:

bzed at think:~$ python2.5
/usr/share/doc/python-gtk2-doc/examples/pygtk-demo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/doc/python-gtk2-doc/examples/pygtk-demo.py", line 19,
in <module>
    import gtk
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line
48, in <module>
    from gtk import _gtk
ImportError: /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so:
undefined symbol: PySignal_SetWakeupFd

So there's at least a proper dependency on the right python version missing.
This sounds like a problem with python2.5 to me, which should not have
any abi changes imho. I'm not sure who really needs the prodding here...
