Yeah, I tried that already (ok simplified i just did 'sudo ln -s
/usr/lib/libmlt.so.0.4.10 /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2' but it's much of a
muchness.

This makes ldd happy

ldd /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/_mlt.so
	linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffff87ff000)
	libmlt++.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2 (0x00007fd31bd30000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fd31bb19000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fd31b797000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fd31b593000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fd31b376000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fd31c1dd000)

but not python

$ python
Python 2.6.5rc2 (r265rc2:78822, Mar 11 2010, 20:47:08) 
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mlt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mlt.py", line 7, in <module>
    import _mlt
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/_mlt.so: undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0
>>>

So I guess it needs an earlier version of mlt installed or for python-
mlt to actually be compiled against the version stated in the depends
?!? Unless there isn't a version of python-mlt that compiles against
this version of mlt++

Potentially a problem only on amd64 is i386 users aren't seeing the same thing?

More info needed?
