Comment 14 for bug 242618

You can add the following line to your sources.list if you want a patched version:

deb http://backports.openoffice.nl hardy-openoffice glib2.0

Packages is this repository can be gpg authenticated. The key that is being used for signing the packages is <email address hidden>. You can enter this key into the APT trusted keys database with the following command:
wget http://<email address hidden> -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Use at your own risk, etc. etc.

To create these packages, I simply downloaded the latest version from hardy-updates and applied the following patch:

--- gio/glocalfile.c.orig 2008-08-07 12:33:40.000000000 +0200
+++ gio/glocalfile.c 2008-08-07 12:33:53.000000000 +0200

     {
       int errsv = errno;

I'll try to keep this repository updated if new packages are uploaded to hardy-updates without this fix. Any new version from ubuntu will overwrite my packages, so let's hope the next version in hardy-updates has this fix applied so I won't have to create another patched package.
