Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.74
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Today the invocation of apt-listchanges from an "apt-get dist-upgrade" failed
for
me with the following output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 28, in ?
import apt_pkg
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt_pkg.so: undefined symbol:
pkgCPU
Obviously, this is not an error in apt-listchanges itself, but a change in some
of the packages on which apt-listchanges rely. Playing around with downgrading
of recently upgraded packages has led me to believe that the error is caused by
the upgrade of the package apt itself from 0.7.5 to 0.7.6. The 0.7.6 version is
dated August 1st 2007. The file mentioned in the error message (apt_pkg.so)
belongs to the package python-apt which is also updated very recently. But
downgrading
it does not fix the problem.
Knowing very little about the inner working of apt-listchanges or apt itself I
refrain from making more guesswork.
