[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#578132: python-opencv: breaks when importing opencv.highgui

[William Thomas Orr]

Package: python-opencv
Version: 1.0.0-6.1
Severity: important
Tags: lenny

When importing highgui from opencv, import throws an exception:

>>> from opencv import highgui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/opencv/highgui.py", line 5, in 
<module>
    import _highgui
ImportError: /usr/lib/libhighgui.so.1: undefined symbol: img_convert
>>>

This was fixed in python-opencv-1.0.0-6.2, but this version was never migrated
to stable. This is a pretty game breaking bug for people who use highgui, and it
would be nice to get a working package in stable.
