I recently ran a `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade`. I could not run `import python` from Python. It was giving me the following error: `ImportError: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/mapnik/_mapnik.so: undefined symbol: _ZN6mapnik15load_map_stringERNS_3MapERKSsbSs`. Dane suggested that I might have different versions of libmapnik and python-mapnik, so I re-ran `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libmapnik python-mapnik` and it gave me new versions of both.

Dane suggested that I file a bug so that checks for similar versions can be added to the install scripts in the debian packages.

PS: I've got this in my sources.list: `deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/springmeyer/nightly-trunk/ubuntu lucid main`
