I haven't been seeing posts from =CE=A6=CF=8E=CE=BD=CF=84=CE=B1=CF=82, only=
 the replies from Steven,
so I'm guessing something isn't crossing the news->mailing list
boundary for some reason. As a result, my understanding of the problem
is a bit spotty, but it seems there may be a chroot involved here.

So it's possible that the chroot didn't have the correct
/etc/ld.so.conf.d entry for your Python binary, and thus the dynamic
linker couldn't find the shared library.

Beyond that, I don't really know enough about what's going on, sorry.
But maybe that's a starting point for an investigation.
