[Bug 79586] "undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4" when starting gimp

[Kjell Braden]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gimp

Using Feisty Herd 2 x86_64, dist-upgraded just before I started gimp
(17:00 UTC)

Every time I start the GIMP I can see lots of "Sorry, the program
"whirlpinch.py" closed unexpectedly." (same message about 20-30 times,
every time different script names)

Starting the GIMP in a terminal I get:


--snip--
(gimp:13623): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp: wire_read(): error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/shadow_bevel.py", line 20, in <module>
    from gimpfu import *
  File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 65, in <module>
    import gimp
ImportError: /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpmodule.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4
--snip--

Same message again about 20-30 times, with different script names and
different lines, but only for the first script ('File
"/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 65, in <module>' stays all
the time).


In gimp itself I have no "Python-fu" menu as I had in edgy
