Arch Linux

Description:

libsndfile has three python scripts, namely src/binheader_writef_check.py, src/create_symbols_file.py and programs/test-sndfile-metadata-set.py. At least one of these files is relevant for running the included test suite. All of the scripts have this as their first line:

#!/usr/bin/python

which causes the scripts to fail with syntax errors.

Additionally, src/Makefile contains the following line:

@if [ -x /usr/bin/python ]; then $(srcdir)/binheader_writef_check.py $(srcdir)/*.c ; fi

which causes no problems if the interpreter directive of the python scripts is set to /usr/bin/python2.


Additional info:
* libsndfile 1.0.25-1
* python2 2.7.2-4
* python 3.2.2-2


Steps to reproduce:
0. Install python.
1. Run `makepkg' for libsndfile.
2. Try to run `make check' in the root source directory.


Attached is a new PKGBUILD to resolve the bug.
