Bug Description

Binary package hint: couchdb

As above. I presume it's a dependency of ubuntu-desktop as I didn't ask for it (never heard of it, still don't know what it's for)

Reported as new as it's a higher version than reported in bug #415747 which was reported to have had a fix released.

I believe this has been fixed in other couchdb package uploads. Is anyone able to reproduce it?

my own test results were delayed by a failed OS upgrade. Based on Chad's results I believe this is resolved.
