There isn't Changelog / NEWS in xterm package, that's why I didn't attach it.

"state the reason why you feel it is necessary"

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

I think it's important, because it fixes many bugs that will be good to have on Gutsy final, some memory leak, typo, it also fixes another LP bug and it's a new upstream release, I don't think it has many changes to break it on gutsy.

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

It will also fix Bug #129041

Changelog:

* override locale in minstall.sh; change in patch #226 does not work in UTF-8 locale (report by Zdenek Sekera).

This is patch #209 - http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.log.html#xterm_209

OK, go ahead and sync, although the .desktop file would be better to use NoDisplay=true than be excluded altogether.
