Package: python-ctypes Version: 0.9.9.3-2 Severity: grave 0.9.9.3 uses a different API to load shared object files, which is the primary purpose of the ctypes library. This version of the package breaks exfalso and python-musicbrainz. You can verify this by running the test_clib example, or any code which uses LoadLibrary.
The documentation has also not been updated to reflect the API change. Please reupload 0.9.6 with an epoch to force the package to downgrade until this issue is resolved (by e.g. a new upstream release).
