Title:
  pyinotify's libc version check fails on Karmic

Status in Ubuntu One Client:
  Invalid
Status in pyinotify package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pyinotify package in Fedora:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python-pyinotify

  pyinotify, in the file /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pyinotify.py, it's
  doing the following test:

  if LIBC_VERSION < '2.4':
      raise UnsupportedLibcVersionError(LIBC_VERSION)

  Today libc6 was upgraded to 2.10... and this check started to fail, as
  it comparse *strings*, not numbers.

  Note that this is critical, because it prevents completely the module
  from start
