Comment 76 for bug 556372

@Christian: I overlooked your cool workaround in comment 16! It is exactly the solution I meant, and in my Natty classic it works perfectly too! Thank you very much!

What do you think: should we attach the resulting .deb here, as a kind of "patch"? It is easy to generate, but it would make more clear that this bug has a solution. If I understand it correctly, the deb works for all Ubuntu releases (unless they introduce a real functional dependency, as you wrote).
