Bug Description

bindings/python/Makefile.am:_indicate_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version -export-symbols-regex init_indicate -lpyglib-2.0-python2.6 -lpython2.6

This is both bad style (you should use pkgconfig), as well as causes an extra "libpython2.6" dependency in our packages; that keeps python2.6 on our CDs, although we moved to Python 2.7 now.

Also, _LDFLAGS is a bad place to put libraries, they should go into _LIBADD. Attached branch/merge proposal use proper build-time detection instead.

This bug was fixed in the package libindicate - 0.4.4-0ubuntu7

---------------
libindicate (0.4.4-0ubuntu7) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Fix Vcs-Bzr: to point to correct branch.
  * Add 04_python_linking.patch: Don't hardcode linking with Python 2.6, get
    the libraries dynamically instead. (LP: #690555)
  * debian/control: Drop support for Python 2.6, so that we don't pull in the
    entire python2.6 package just because of this.
