If this is master, I applied Jelmer's patch to move python to the top
level recently (a couple of weeks ago), and there may be some
after-effects of that in a not-clean tree.  Most users see a waf
backtrace due to needing to change the bin/python symlink, but perhaps
your particular tree failed in a different way?

Otherwise, this might be something to do with arch-specific python dirs,
as the difference between samba and ldb is that samba is a pure python
library, while ldb is a C module. 

I hope this helps, it certainly isn't a dependency on ldb on the system,
and I don't have that (and neither would sn-devel for autobuild).
