Bug#316030: python-uno: appears to be completely broken

[Brian May <bam@debian.org>]

Package: python-uno
Version: 1.9.108-1
Severity: important

(from experimental)

Two issues, the first one should be easy to fix, not sure about the
second:

>>> import uno
>>> import uno
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/uno.py", line 62, in ?
    import pyuno
ImportError: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing libstdc++6 fixed this, I suspect a missing dependancy.

The second problem:

>>> import uno
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/uno.py", line 62, in ?
    import pyuno
SystemError: dynamic module not initialized properly

I found a reference to this error in
<URL:http://bibus-biblio.sourceforge.net/html/en/LinuxInstall.html>.  This
reference appears to be old, so I am not sure it is relevant or not.  It says
the Debian version of python is compiled with UCS4 but python-uno only supports
UCS2.

Do you know if this is the problem, or is this just a red herring?
