building python-numpy on

[Faheem Mitha <faheem@faheem.info>]

Hi,

I was trying to rebuild python-numpy 1.6.1-3 (the version currently in 
experimental) on squeeze. A straight

debuild binary

seems to come really close. I do need to get python-sphinx from backports.

It errors out at the end with the following error. I don't have any idea 
how to fix it.

Can anyone help me get past this? Please CC me on any reply, I'm not 
subscribed. Thanks.

                                                     Regards, Faheem
