python-gssapi 1.8.2-1ubuntu2 regression: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gssapi.raw'

[Martin Pitt]

The recent no-change rebuild in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-gssapi/1.8.2-1ubuntu2 regressed. With -1ubuntu1, the import works:

  python3 -c 'import gssapi'

but with -1ubuntu2, it crashes with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gssapi/__init__.py", line 31, in <module>
    from gssapi.raw.types import NameType, RequirementFlag, AddressType # noqa
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gssapi/raw/__init__.py", line 45, in <module>
    importlib.import_module('{0}._enum_extensions.{1}'.format(__name__, name))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/importlib/__init__.py", line 90, in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)

  File "gssapi/raw/_enum_extensions/ext_dce.pyx", line 3, in init gssapi.raw._enum_extensions.ext_dce
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gssapi.raw'

which is a bit weird, as indeed the rebuilt deb lost e.g.

  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gssapi/raw/types.cpython-311-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

and related *311* files, but the *312* ones are still present. But Python *is* 3.12:

# python3 --version
Python 3.12.3

This breaks e.g. ipa-client-install (right away, no arguments or IPA setup needed).

So there's something subtle going on, but this really should be removed from noble-proposed now that noble is stable.

This was "fixed" in noble by clearing out noble-proposed, thanks! That took care of the worst fallout.
