Bug Description

Binary package hint: kde-systemsettings

The user management module will not load because it cannot find libpython2.5.so, because it doesnt exist...

Workaround: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpython2.5.so.1 /usr/lib/libpython2.5.so

It's actually libpythonize0 that tries to dlopen libpython2.5.so. As a work around, we can add python-dev as a dependency to libpythonize0.

reopening; it's a workaround, not a fix.

Agreed it's a work around in libpythonize0, but it solves the higher level problem documented in this bug. The real issue (that still needs fixed) is in Bug #138189
