[Python-modules-team] Bug#874344: python-scipy: Fail to import with "undefined symbol: PyFPE_jbuf"

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: python-scipy
Version: 0.18.1-2+b2
Severity: serious

I discovered this when trying to use gr-gsm in Debian Unstable.  Using
the library fail like this:

% python -c "from scipy.ndimage.filters import uniform_filter1d"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/ndimage/__init__.py", line 161, in <module>
    from .filters import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/ndimage/filters.py", line 37, in <module>
    from scipy.misc import doccer
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/misc/__init__.py", line 51, in <module>
    from scipy.special import comb, factorial, factorial2, factorialk

    from .basic import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/special/basic.py", line 19, in <module>
    from . import orthogonal
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/special/orthogonal.py", line 101, in <module>
    from scipy import linalg
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/linalg/__init__.py", line 175, in <module>
    from .basic import *
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/linalg/basic.py", line 21, in <module>
    from ._solve_toeplitz import levinson
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/linalg/_solve_toeplitz.x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PyFPE_jbuf

Setting severity to serious as it seem to make the library useless. :(
