[Python-modules-team] Bug#521381: python-cairo: Can't import cairo module from Python

[Thierry Florac]

Package: python-cairo
Version: 1.8.4-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software


Since last upgrade, I can't run any Python application using GTK+ because of an import error :

>>> import gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module>
    from gtk import _gtk
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cairo/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from _cairo import *
ImportError: No module named _cairo


I tried to reinstall and reconfigure several packages (python-gtk2, python-cairo), without success.
