Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I have added a new patch that handles the error (at least for me) to the equivalent bug in Debian, here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494750

This this bug has enough information, I'm going to mark it as confirmed.
But don't hold your breath and feel free to push this along (by providing a candidate debdiff, as per
«https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff»)

Thanks for your help.

Don't worry, I won't be holding my breath - as being blue in the head isn't my favourite thing. I merely popped in over here to give the original reporter a heads up about the patch.

I assume that when the bug gets fixed in Debian, the package will eventually trickle over to Ubuntu-land.

Have fun!
