This is equivalent to Fedora bug 672043. I wrote up some notes on it there at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=672043#c3 I don't think this is cleanly fixable from the Python side. One workaround is to not have the abrt-addon-python package installed when building python. Another may be to patch ABRT to move the "import syslog" within /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/abrt_exception_handler.py" into the callsites that use it, rather than in module scope. Reassigning to "abrt"
