python ctypes package has missing deps (libffi2)

[Adam Lydick]

The package python2.4-ctypes has missing dependencies. I've appended the apt-get output to the end of the report.

Further investigation reveals that there is a libffi4, but not a libffi2 package.

lydickaw@rohan:~/Desktop/picard-0.5.0-test2 $ apt-cache search libffi
libffi4 - Foreign Function Interface library runtime
libffi4-dev - Foreign Function Interface library (development files)

Maybe ctypes needs to be rebuilt against the new libffi4?
