Comment 1 for bug 197216

Here is the proposed patch for hardy-updates:

pycaml (0.82-7ubuntu0.1) hardy-proposed; urgency=low

  * Fix FTBFS (and thus make the package installable again) by backporting
    a patch from pycaml 0.82-8 (LP: #197216).
  * Apply fix from Debian OCaml Group SVN (rev 5688):
    + Add missing dependency on ocaml-interp to pycaml.
    + Move dllpycaml_stubs.so to the directory where ocaml looks for it.
  * debian/Makefile:
    + Build with python 2.5.
  * debian/control:
    + Modify Maintainer value to match DebianMaintainerField spec.

The patch contains two fixes: one for the FTBFS of pycaml with python 2.5 (patch taken from pycaml 0.82-8) and a second fix for a problem I discovered while testing the rebuild package. I've contacted the Debian OCaml maintainers for help and they fixed it in their SVN where I took the fix from.

TEST CASE:
- try to install pycaml in hardy

The second problem is harder to test as it needs a package where only the first fix got applied. But with the fixed package it's possible to run pycamltop (included in pycaml) without getting errors about missing files.
