Bug#481457: python-gtk2: 2.12.1-2 breaks matplotlib and likely other apps as well

[Manuel Metz]

Hi Dmitry,

   same problem for me here when upgrading to 2.12.1-5 :-( I don't know 
who's going to read this any longer, as this bug-report has been marked 
resolved. I reported a new bug to inform the maintainers that the bug 
re-appeared (#484654) with 2.12.1-5. According to Josselin Mouette: 
"[...] you should understand that it [the patch] is not causing the 
problem, but that it is a part of the solution."

... strange kind of solution to me ...

Manuel
