[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#550310: libkml: FTBFS: python2.4 extensions never make it to debian/

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Package: libkml
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

libkml builds are failing with errors of the form

    # removes build-time rpaths
    for version in python2.5 python2.4; \
            do \
                    chrpath --delete .../libkml-1.0.1/debian/python-kml/usr/lib/$version/site-packages/*.so ; \
            done
    open: No such file or directory
    elf_open: Invalid argument
    make: *** [binary-install/python-kml] Error 1

The problem appears to be that, for some reason I haven't had time to
determine, the extensions from build-python2.4 never make it to
debian/tmp or debian/python-kml:

    $ find * -name _kmlbase.so
    build/src/swig/_kmlbase.so
    build-python2.4/src/swig/_kmlbase.so
    build-python2.5/src/swig/_kmlbase.so
    debian/tmp/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_kmlbase.so
    debian/python-kml/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_kmlbase.so

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
