This bug was fixed in the package gnome-lirc-properties - 0.2.5-0ubuntu2

---------------

 gnome-lirc-properties (0.2.5-0ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Disable scrollkeeper on the buildd and enable it on the user's machine
    (LP: #229940):
    - debian/rules:
      + add --disable-scrollkeeper flag to configure call
    - debian/control:
      + move scrollkeeper from Build-Depends to Depends

Will be fixed in hardy too? Is it LTS!

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Well, this bug only makes the application unusable if you install BOTH hipo and gnome-lirc-properties. If you can convince the motu-sru team that it is worth an sru then it can fixed for hardy too, the procedure is here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

I just opened an hardy task, if you want subscribe motu-sru and provide a statement explaining the impact of the bug on users and a justification for backporting the fix to the stable release. Be prepared to answer any question they may have, I will provide support if needed and prepare the sru if accepted.

[Pavel Mlčoch (pavkamlc)]

So way is create PPA repository for hardy. May someone create it?

[Pavel Mlčoch (pavkamlc)]

I have this problem with by me packaged cvs version of glom

[Murray Cumming (murrayc)]

What does this have to do with Glom?

[Pavel Mlčoch (pavkamlc)]

the same problem like with hipo.
/var/lib/scrollkeeper/en_GB/scrollkeeper_cl.xml colision.
