Uninstallable in Karmic due to bad dep on libgdl, FTBFS if rebuilt

[Iain Lane]

Hi,

python-gdl 2.25.3-2ubuntu1 is uninstallable due to a dep on libgdl-1-0 which no longer exists. It should only require a rebuild but there seems to be an API change in the new gdl which is breaking the build:

/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../gdl -I.. -I/usr/include/python2.5 -I/usr/include/python2.5 -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/libgdl-1.0 -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/directfb -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pygtk-2.0 -g -O2 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -MT gdl.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/gdl.Tpo -c -o gdl.lo gdl.c

This is preventing other packages (miro in my case) from building.

This same issue prevents the "revelation" password-manager app from installing (and maybe building?), due to its dependency on "python-gnome2-extras", which depends on the broken "python-gdl" package.

Confirmed this is blocking revelation from building.
