I'm working on it. The reason for the bug is totally unclear to me, though. Upstream doesn't know what causes it either, and doesn't know a solution. Also, this is not amd64 specific, the bug occurs everywhere. I have _sort of_ managed to start democracyplayer now after switching to Python 2.5 for builing it, _and_ rebuilding three or four python-related packages to add Python 2.5 versions of the libs (they currently only provide 2.4 versions). You need to rebuild at least python-gnome2, xulrunner* (and esp. python-xpcom, and that needs a change in debian/rules), python-gnome2-extras, maybe python-boost* and more. Note that using democracyplayer still doesn't really work (quite likely a python-xpcom problem): Could not import the Python XPCOM extension <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: No module named xpcom._xpcom But, at least it doesn't completely crash anymore now, i.e. the GUI comes up and shows the channel guide, but you cannot subscribe to channels or download movies, or view them. This is really a mess. It'll take ages to change all those packages to build/provide Python 2.5 versions. I'm trying to figure out a way to fix the build while staying with Python 2.4, but I'm a bit lost... Any help is appreciated. FWIW, the message ImportError: /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/democracy/database.so: undefined symbol: PyErr_WarnEx still appears with my democracyplayer version which starts and runs somewhat (Python 2.5 version), so maybe it's not really _that_ critical and the reason for the problems is not related to the "PyErr_WarnEx" at all (?) This may be related to this boost bug (not sure, though): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=426871 Also, I'm in contact with the Ubuntu maintainer of democracyplayer, and apparently they don't see this bug, presumably because they transitioned to Python 2.5 (not sure if _all_ of Ubuntu or only democracyplayer is meant here).
