Bug#388189: ImportError: .../apt_pkg.so: undefined symbol: _ZN15SHA256SummationC1Ev

[Max Kirillov]

Package: python-apt
Version: 0.6.19
Severity: important

I saw the "ImportError" message on a package installation
via aptutude. Looks like it does not affect the result, but
I'm not sure about it (and single *-doc package is probably
not a good test for full functionality).

max$ sudo aptitude install libglib2.0-doc
