ImportError: libreplace.so with samba-tool domain provision

[Julien Kerihuel]

Hi List,

Several users have reported one issue while provisioning Samba4 AD with
latest Samba GIT revision (as of today) on Debian Squeeze and Wheezy: 

PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages LDB_MODULES_PATH=/usr/local/samba/lib/ldb/ /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain provision --realm=oc.local --domain=OC --adminpass='openchange1!' --server-role='dc'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool", line 33, in <module>
    from samba.netcmd.main import cmd_sambatool
  File "/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/__init__.py", line 49, in <module>
    import ldb
ImportError: libreplace.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After some preliminary investigations, it looks the error is related to
the LDB python module and is reproducible easily:

Python 2.7.3 (default, Jan  2 2013, 13:56:14) 
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ldb
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 ImportError: libreplace.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The following environment variables (LDB_MODULES_PATH and
LDB_MODULESDIR) has been set (afterwards) while looking at some possible
misconfiguration in user environment, but no changes.

A strace output is available here: http://paste.debian.net/228169/


I realize a bit late a bugzilla report would actually have been more
useful here ...

Kind Regards,
Julien.
