TJ, some users are reporting an error while trying to "import mlt" after
installing OpenShot from the PPA.
On Bug 439205 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439205) specifically, this
was the error from *mlt.py*:

"File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mlt.py", line 7, in <module>
   import _mlt
ImportError: libmlt++.so.2"

Here is what the user reported as a work around:

"So, I checked the libmlt++2 package from synaptic, and discovered that it
installs the file libmlt++.so.3 under /usr/lib
A simple "sudo ln /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.3 /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2" now allowed
me to run openshot."

Any ideas on why this might happen?

Thanks,
-Jonathan
