When running mafft I just get the following message:

"""
correctly installed?
mafft binaries have to be installed in $MAFFT_BINARIES
or the /build/buildd/mafft-6.850/debian/mafft/usr/lib/mafft/lib/mafft directory.

Hello,

mafft 6.850-1 is indeed broken. This is the bug #636634 in Debian.

I have just uploaded in Debian Med's PPA a backport of the current
version in Debian Wheezy.

Have a nice day,

Thanks. Just for curiosity. Can you tell me if and how this will make its way in the ubuntu repositories?

[Charles Plessy (plessy)]

I am not a Ubuntu user (I track the bugs in this package because I maintain it in Debian, where it comes from), so I only have guesses...

For Lucid (LTS as well), I have not seen bugs in scientific packages from the "multiverse" component being corrected, so I am not sure if mafft will be updated in this LTS. Perhaps you can ask to the MOTU Science, or to a generic Ubuntu mailing list.

However the next releases of Ubuntu track the Debian packages, and 6.864-1 is already in Quantal.

Cheers,
