Package: python-ctypes
Version: 1.0.2-2
Severity: important

Hi,

if you install python-ctypes on a minimal debootstrap system and run
the code:

import ctypes
import ctypes.util
ctypes.util.find_library('c')

you will get an empty string from the find_library function, while the
expected value should be 'libc.so.6'.

To make it work you have to install the binutils package, which I'd
consider a dependency of python-ctypes.

I'm setting priority "important" because this bug makes some part of
python-ctypes unusable. It would be nice to fix this in Lenny as well.

Thanks,
