Comment 13 for bug 229681

Since Charles suggested the problem might be incorrectly specified dependencies, I compared the dependencies of the newest version of this program (0.2.2b1-4) in Debian (Squeeze) and Ubuntu (Karmic), for the platforms supported by Ubuntu (i386 and amd64). I've attached a list of the differences I found.

I made sure my amd64 system satisfied both the Debian and Ubuntu dependencies in all cases. (I had to update libxcb-render-util0 to the Karmic version to meet the Debian dependency.) But it still won't run on my system.

So I'm thinking it's not just a matter of Ubuntu specifying less dependencies (or depending on insufficiently new versions of libraries) compared to Debian.
