Nope its all part of a single build setup in a chroot and was all built
with the default python version of 2.7.

tevent was compiled and installed as a dependency of samba4 as was tdb 
and the configure script detected them fine. Here are the lines from the 
samba configure script (edited a bit for readability:

Checking for system tevent (>=0.9.37)                      : yes
Checking for system tdb (>=1.3.16)                         : yes

Samba has built and linked succesfully with the separately packaged 
tevent and tdb. The problem arises when generating the binary package.

I'm using pkg_comp1 which checks that all the files in the PLIST 
actually exist in destdir and the ones relating to tevent no longer do 
(quite correctly).

The problem here is one in the samba4 package PLIST not a configure 
detection problem. The PLIST is saying that samba should be providing 
tevent but based on the configure output, tevent is now a separate 
package so the samab4 package should not be listing those files in its 
PLIST as they are no longer part of the samba4 package instead they are 
provided by the separate tevent package.

I'm in the process of re-doing the build with those files removed from 
the PLIST which I think will resolve the issue.
