And a third thing, do you happen to try to start/run it from the  
source directory, where you built it? Because if so, it will find the  
mediaproxy package in that directory before the one that was installed  
by the debian package, however the one in the source directory doesn't  
have _conntrack.so in the right place (or at all), so it's not found.  
This problem should be easy to spot. Run the following commands and  
watch the output. The first one will tell you from where it imports  
the mediaproxy module. The second one will tell you if there is a  
_conntrack.so file in that place:

$ python -c "import sys, mediaproxy; print sys.modules['mediaproxy']"
<module 'mediaproxy' from '/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/ 
mediaproxy/__init__.pyc'>
$ ls /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/mediaproxy/interfaces/system/
__init__.py  __init__.pyc  _conntrack.so
$
