Package: python-mapnik
Version: 0.6.0-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

Hi,

after installation of python-mapnik I tried to generate images, but I
got segmentation faults.

After some debugging (thanks, Steve) we found that the culprit is that
Pycairo_CAPI is null. This should be set by Pycairo_IMPORT. Howver,
looking at the code of PyCObject_Import this function returns null if
the requested python library is not there.


So, there are two possibilities to resolve this issue:

1. Add an dependency to python-cairo to the package.

2. Add an error message to the initalization function in case the
function returns null.


I think best both should be done.



Cheers,
Andi
