This is not obvious to me. In the past [1], this symptom has been traced to a mismatch between the python version used to build Boost and the python version used to build the application -- i.e. python-libtorrent. I note that python2.6 (2.6.7-1) was recently uploaded. So first question is: does a rebuild of python WITHOUT CHANGES fix the problem? The boost python library references Py_InitModule4_64 but does not define it: $ objdump --demangle -T /usr/lib/libboost_python-py26.so.1.46.1| grep Py_InitModule4_64 0000000000000000 D *UND* 0000000000000000 Py_InitModule4_64 The python library defines this symbol: $ objdump -T --demangle /usr/lib/libpython2.6.so |grep Py_InitModule4 000000000010d970 g DF .text 00000000000002c7 Base Py_InitModule4_64 Nothing in /usr/share/doc/python2.6-dbg/README.debug suggests it would be needed to define this symbol.
