[karmic] empathy header files are outdated

[Sense Egbert Hofstede]

Binary package hint: empathy

Importing the 'empathy' module in Python raises the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/empathy.so: undefined symbol: empathy_account_manager_remove

This also makes it impossible to import the module 'empathygtk' since it depends on 'empathy'.

Removing empathy-account_manager_remove from the .defs file gives the following ImportError:
ImportError: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/empathy.so: undefined symbol: empathy_tp_contact_list_can_add

python/pyempathy/pyempathy.defs needs to be regenerated

This is fixed in the upstream master and in 2.28. I request Empathy to be upgraded to the latest version to solve this bug.
