Package: python-glpk
Version: 0.1.16-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The version of python-glpk currently in unstable compiles fine but fails
with the current libglpk0 (4.36-2):
$ cd examples/
$ python example.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "example.py", line 1, in <module>
import glpk
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/glpk.py", line 26, in <module>
from glpkpi import *
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/glpkpi.py", line 7, in <module>
import _glpkpi
ImportError: /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/_glpkpi.so: undefined
symbol:_glp_lib_print_hook
The problem comes from the fact that the upstream authors removed the some
_glp_lib_* symbols from the API of GLPK since version 4.30, without changing
the library SONAME. He justified doing that [1] because those routines have
never been advertised as being part of the API before and were exported in
libglpk0 by mistake.
The new usptream version of python-glpk, 0.1.36, works fine with libglpk0
4.36-2. Please, upgrade the package to this new version. BTW, the package
is in a quite bad shape, with lots of Lintian warnings. If you wish, I can
fix the problems and upload a new package, on the behalf of the DPMT.
Thanks,
Rafael Laboissiere
