[Python-modules-team] Bug#566873: python-mysqldb: not linked against libmysqld (mysql embedded server library)

[Sven Uhlig]

Package: python-mysqldb
Version: 1.2.2-10
Severity: normal


Hello list,

well as the title says: python-mysqldb is not linked against libmysqld and thus the
mysql embedded server feature is missing. Atleast that's what my ldd
says:

$ ldd pyshared/python2.5/_mysql.so
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff21de1000)
        libmysqlclient_r.so.16 => /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.16 (0x00007fd58b8a7000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fd58b68b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fd58b336000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007fd58b0ff000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x00007fd58aee7000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007fd58ac64000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00007fd58aa4d000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fd58beef000)

Furthermore I am not able to build the package from source package.
Tried with default settings (site.cfg) and with Static = True. Both with the same
result:

$ python setup.py build
       *snip*
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqld.a(client.o): relocation
R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `not_error_sqlstate' can not be used when
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

(Another Bug?)

Regards.
