I got the source (the .dsc and tar) from us.archives and built it myself. I installed that .deb and it caused an error....

The resulting .deb file contained two .so files, one for 2.4 and one fore 2.5. The 2.4 one had a size of zero.

I then poked around and rebuilt the .deb *again* and this time got a .deb with both .so files having contents. I installed it and now 'import PAM' works again.

Weird. I think something is broken in the buildtools or the build-rules for this .deb. But I don't know much about .deb building anymore.

Ciao!

debdiff Edit (2.1 KiB, text/plain)

Here is a debdiff to fix it.

python-pam (0.4.2-10.4ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low

  * debian/control: add python-central to build-depends
  * debian/rules: call dh_pycentral instead of dh_python to get the depends in
    the binary right.
  * This upload fixes also the problem with empty packages. (LP: #69967)
  * Modified Maintainer values to match Debian-Maintainer-Field spec.

I'm confused. Is this bug or is bug #84732 the bug for Edgy? The problem is that **edgy** has a totally useless python-pam package.

Ciao!
