Description Kevin M. Kilbride 2008-06-18 07:54:18 UTC

The python-updater script does not recognize that PostgreSQL needs to be rebuilt when the latter has been built with Python language support.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Stop PostgreSQL service
2. Upgrade Python to new version (to get new libraries)
3. Run 'python-updater' script [many packages rebuilt]
4. Start PostgreSQL service: libraries still unavailable
5. Stop PostgreSQL service
6. Explicitly re-emerge postgresql
7. Start PostgreSQL service: libraries are now available

Actual Results:  
hashlib library could not be imported in pgpython scripts after upgrade

Expected Results:  
hashlib should have been available in Python 2.5, but python-updater did not recognize that PostgreSQL was among the many packages that needed to be rebuilt.

What version of python-updater are you using?

python-updater-0.5 has an additional check "soname" for this type of issues.
Thanks for reporting :-]
