Package: python-gobject
Version: 2.12.3-2+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrading libglib to version 2.14.1-2 (it applies also to
2.14.1-3) trying to import gobject gives the error:

>>> import gobject
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/gtk-2.0/gobject/__init__.py",
line 30, in ?
    from _gobject import *
ImportError: /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol:
pcre_get_stringtable_entries

And so it makes pygtk application unusable.
