Public bug reported:

elektra fails to build in artful with tests failing like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src/bindings/swig/python/tests/test_kdb.py", line 61, 
in tearDownClass
    with kdb.KDB() as db:

    _kdb.KDB_swiginit(self, _kdb.new_KDB(*args))

After some digging, it turns out that this is because the _kdb.so python 
extension module has a DT_RUNPATH pointing at the directory containing 
libelektra-resolver.so, not DT_RPATH (which would work, see 
http://blog.qt.io/blog/2011/10/28/rpath-and-runpath/).

Nothing in the packaging afaict has an opinion on rpath vs runpath so
this is probably down to some change in some other package.

That said, using -rpath to make tests pass when linking files that get
installed to locations on the default so search path smells a bit. Maybe
it would be better to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running the tests?
