[Python-modules-team] Bug#875610: python-pythonmagick: Undefined symbol in python2.7 PythonMagick.x86_64-linux-gnu.so

[Dave Williams]

Package: python-pythonmagick
Version: 0.9.17-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
apt-get upgrade using debian previously configured to use testing (buster)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Existing python program stopped working with the exception thrown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./radar2.py", line 7, in <module>
      import PythonMagick
        File
	"/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PythonMagick/__init__.py",
	line 1, in <module>
	    from . import _PythonMagick
	    ImportError:
	    /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PythonMagick/_PythonMagick.x86_64-linux-gnu.so:
	    undefined symbol:
	    _ZNK6Magick5ColorcvNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEEv

   * What was the outcome of this action?
Program that has been "in production" for several years now wont run
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Program continues to run normally


Looks like a name mangling issue.

Dave
