[Bug 1112496] [NEW] python-imaging broken in raring

[Rachel Greenham]

Public bug reported:

python-imaging in raring doesn't include a PIL.pth to point python at
the library, so attempts to import modules from the package fail with,
eg:

rachel at rarity:/etc$ python -m ImageMode && echo ok
/usr/bin/python: No module named Image

When the PIL.pth file is manually created, so python can find it, the
Image module itself still fails to load:

rachel at rarity:/etc$ python -m Image
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code
    exec code in run_globals
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 75, in <module>
    from . import ImageMode
ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package

The ImageMode module that line seems to be trying to import, however,
seems to import fine by itself:

rachel at rarity:/etc$ python -m ImageMode && echo ok
ok

(I've confirmed that ImageMode comes from the same place, as if I remove
PIL.pth again, the above line just returns the "No module named
ImageMode" error)

I've tried reinstalling python-imaging already. I note in any case the
PIL.pth file is missing on the file list available at
packages.ubuntu.com for raring.

This is on Ubuntu Raring as updated from Ubuntu Quantal a few days ago:

Affects me as it affects building/packaging XBMC post-frodo for raring.
