Bug#990359: python3-websockify: rebind.so not found (when used in program wrapper mode)

[Mike Gabriel]

Package: python3-websockify
Severity: important
Version: 0.9.0+dfsg1-2+b1

Hi,

I played with websockify and NoVNC recently and discovered that
websockify's program wrapper mode is currently broken in Debian 11:

```
[sunweaver@sunobo ~]$ websockify 127.0.0.1:9898 -- x11vnc -noipv6 -display :0
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/websockify", line 33, in <module>
sys.exit(load_entry_point('websockify==0.9.0', 'console_scripts',
'websockify')())
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/websockify/websocketproxy.py",
line 725, in websockify_init
server = WebSocketProxy(**opts.__dict__)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/websockify/websocketproxy.py",
line 306, in __init__
raise Exception("rebind.so not found, perhaps you need to run make")
Exception: rebind.so not found, perhaps you need to run make

```

The directory /usr/lib/websockify has this content here:

```
root@sunobo:/usr/lib/websockify# LANG=C ls -al
total 44
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 27 07:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 182 root root 12288 Jun 24 15:44 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14304 Nov 19 2020
rebind.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11776 Nov 19 2020 rebind.o
```

My work-around for the above error is putting a symlink into this
directory, like this:

```
root@sunobo:/usr/lib/websockify# LANG=C ls -al
total 44
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 27 07:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 182 root root 12288 Jun 24 15:44 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14304 Nov 19 2020
rebind.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11776 Nov 19 2020 rebind.o
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jun 27 07:05 rebind.so ->
rebind.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

```

Please, possibly fix this for Debian 11. If more help is needed,
please let me know.

Greets,
Mike

Hi Jochen,

Thanks for the patch, I uploaded version -3 of websockify including it.

I'm not sure how this will behave with multiarch, however, obviously we
already have the issue with the rebind.o file, so I don't think its more
harmful than previously.

Cheers,
