Bug#587969: mock: doesn't work on kfreebsd-*: /usr/bin/python: undefined symbol: personality



Package: mock
Version: 1.0.8-1
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd

On kfreebsd-*, mock crashes with a not very friendly error message:

# mock init
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/mock", line 64, in <module>
    import mock.backend
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/mock/backend.py", line 25, in <module>
    import mock.util
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/mock/util.py", line 29, in <module>
    _libc.personality.argtypes = [ctypes.c_ulong]
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ctypes/__init__.py", line 366, in __getattr__
    func = self.__getitem__(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ctypes/__init__.py", line 371, in __getitem__
    func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))
AttributeError: /usr/bin/python: undefined symbol: personality


While it is understandable that mock doesn't work on non-Linux systems, it would be nice if an error message explained what is the culprit (i.e., that you need Linux to run this program).
