Matthias Klose <d...@debian.org> added the comment:

please don't close this yet.  the patch introduces a dependency on the 
distutils package.  I don't see any reason to compare the libc version as a 
python egg version, so please avoid that.

if we need to have a module to compare arbitrary version strings, then we 
should think about adding one in the standard library, but I think that's what 
the packaging module is for.
