Public bug reported:
On xenial, with the latest version of libgv-python (2.38.0-12ubuntu2) on
x86_64,
when importing the gv module I get the following error:
```
❯ python
Python 2.7.11+ (default, Apr 17 2016, 14:00:29)
[GCC 5.3.1 20160413] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gv
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "gv.py", line 28, in <module>
_gv = swig_import_helper()
File "gv.py", line 20, in swig_import_helper
import _gv
ImportError: No module named _gv
>>>
```
Upon investigation, there is a dangling symlink -- _gv.x86_64-linux-
gnu.so points to a non-existent library that does not contain the
architecture, whereas the actual existing file is tagged with the
architecture (x86_64-linus-gnu):
```
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
❯ ls -l *gv*so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Mar 14 05:29 _gv.x86_64-linux-gnu.so ->
libgv_python27.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92624 Mar 14 05:29 libgv_python27.x86_64-linux-gnu.so
```
Currently creating the libgv_python27.so -> libgv_python27.x86_64-linux-
gnu.so symlink manually so as not to touch the files coming from the
package.
