I can confirm the fix.

Installing the version from hardy-updates and upgrading to the version in intrepid gives the error.

Installing the version from hardy-updates and upgrading to the version in intrepid-proposed works! Running the game works as well.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package sabre - 0.2.4b-25ubuntu0.1

---------------
sabre (0.2.4b-25ubuntu0.1) intrepid-proposed; urgency=low

  * Call dpkg-statoverride with --force to allow a clean upgrade if sabre
    is already installed (LP: #285248).

[hugovilla (hugovillarreal)]

Please help me!
This type of report does nothing to remedy the situation for me. I still get the error message even though I continue to install all updates i receive. is there something else i need to do?
Thanks
Hugo

[Andreas Wenning (andreas-wenning)]

@Hugo
When the fix is released it first needs to be built; and then it needs to reach you local archive mirror. If you have "updates" enabled the fix should arrive at your local mirror normally somewhere between 2-48 hours after the bug has been marked fix released.

[hugovilla (hugovillarreal)]

Thank you very much. I do have the "updates on", and I load them as soon as i receive the notice. However, I get this bug error notice on my system every time I load the updates. it has been going on for at least 3 months now, and i keep getting the messages that a "fix has been released", but when i load the updates, it never "fixes" anything on my system. Also, the bug notice messages i get might as well be in written in chinese because I cant make sense of them. You are the first person that actually tells me something i can understand.
Again, I sincerely thank you for your time in responding to my first email.
You have a great weekend.
Hugo

[Andreas Wenning (andreas-wenning)]

If you have "recommended updates" enabled; this should fix itself in an upgrade one of the next days.

[hugovilla (hugovillarreal)]

Andrea:
wouldn't you know it; I installed the latest "updates" on my system and I did nor get an error message this time. everything got installed without a problem or error message.
Looks like problem solved. (cross fingers).
You are the woman!
Thanks

Add an "s" to the name; and remove the "wo" from your last sentence ;) ... no harm taken though...
