[UVFe] Please sync scribes (universe) 0.3.2.9-1 from Debian Unstable (main)

[Ross Peoples]

Binary package hint: scribes

Installed Scribes on Gusty, with all latest updates. Clicking the Close button, or clicking the icon in the titlebar, then clicking Close does not close Scribes. The program freezes for several seconds before a popup displays saying that the program is not responding. At which point you can either click Cancel or click Force Quit. It happens every time the program is run, whether from the Applications menu or as a result of doing an Open With... from Nautilus.

Using Compiz Fusion, XGL, and proprietary ATI drivers.

Confirmed on Scribes mailing list as a conflict with PyGTK 2.11

This should be fixed in version 0.3.2.9 though... any chance we can see it in Gutsy?

0.3.2.9 released and fixes the issue.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Please consider accepting a sync from Debian Unstable (main) for Scribes 0.3.2.9-1. It fixes this bug, and is a minor release (we already have 0.3.2.8-1).

Actually, scribes in Ubuntu is completely broken. Just open it, and it will freeze if you right click the menu, or try to close it.
However, this version fixes that, making scribes usable again.

Another thing to consider for approving this, apart of what it fixes and that there shouldn't be a regression, since it can't get worse, is that scribes doesn't have any rdepends.

So for all of these reasons, I request an UVFe.

Thanks,
Emilio

Since it wasn't in Feisty, there is also no regression risk. Ack from me, but please file all the proper UVFe information.
