Package: python-apt Version: 0.6.19 In one of my chroots, I have apt 0.6.43 and python-apt 0.6.19 installed; python-apt 0.6.19 Depends on libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11, which apt 0.6.43 Provides. However: >>> import apt_pkg Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/apt_pkg.so: undefined symbol: _ZN15SHA256SummationC1Ev c++filt decodes this name as "SHA256Summation::SHA256Summation()". nm -D shows that /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/apt_pkg.so needs that symbol, and that /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.3.11 does not provide any of the SHA256Summation class symbols. The changelog for python-apt shows that version 0.6.19 started exporting sha256 stuff; it looks like the libapt-pkg* Provides in apt needs a SONAME bump and python-apt needs to add a stronger Depends on it. - Josh Triplett
