[Python-modules-team] Bug#440272: python2.4: md5.so symbols conflict with libmhash2

[Robert Edmonds]

reassign 440272 python2.4
thanks

Hi,

python2.4's md5.so module contains identical symbols to those used in
libmhash.so.2.  This causes spectacular failures for
libapache2-mod-python users when apache under certain conditions tries
to load both of these DSOs.  Is it possible for the symbols in
python2.4's md5.so module to be munged, as the mod_python upstream
claims they should be?
