[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#529745: python-gdal: can't import gdal_array

[Oz N]

Package: python-gdal
Version: 1.6.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi, 
I've installed python gdal, it does not import some of the modules
correctly. 
Here's an output from python:
$ python
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Feb 17 2009, 20:16:45) 
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from osgeo import gdal
>>> from osgeo import gdal_array
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/osgeo/gdal_array.py", line 7,
in <module>
    import _gdal_array
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function
(init_gdal_array)

###
I installed the whole gdal package from sources and that solves my
problem. So I guess something is malfunctioning with debian packages. 

Thanks for the great work, 

Oz.
