[Bug 330710] [NEW] python-gnome: built with rpath

[Sascha Silbe]

Public bug reported:

/usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gnomevfs/_gnomevfs.so contains an RPATH setting, causing third party software like sugar-jhbuild to fail under certain circumstances (see [1] for an example of problems caused by this - the actual bug caused by python-gnome2 is a similar, but different one).
Debians current opinion on rpath [2] seems to be that it should NOT be set, except under very rare circumstances.
I haven't tested whether Debians packages contain the rpath setting as well, so it might be an upstream packaging bug.
python-gnome2-desktop and python-gnome2-extras might have the same issue, haven't tested this.

Steps to reproduce:
1. install chrpath
2. chrpath -l /usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gnomevfs/_gnomevfs.so

Results:
/usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gnomevfs/_gnomevfs.so: RPATH=/usr/lib

Expected:
no rpath setting
