ccsm crashed hardy dev kernel - ImportError: ... undefined symbol: ccsEdgesToStringList

[ubunyou]

Binary package hint: compizconfig-settings-manager

Originally reported as update to Bug #123131 (fixed 06 Aug 2007). I think its a new bug.

Error can be reproduced by running ccsm on my system or through Gnome UI via
System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings

>ccsm
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 37, in <module>
    import compizconfig
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/compizconfig.so: undefined symbol: ccsEdgesToStringList

I am running with a fully updated (as of Feb 19, 2008) version of Hardy Heron pulling from this repo:
root@kyle-ubuntu:~/scripts# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted

Note that I can successfully select "Extra" Effects from System > Preferences > Appearence ...
