Please sync gnome-color-chooser (0.2.5-1) from Debian unstable

[Shahin]

I don't know if it is Gnome or Ubuntu but the fact is that “Gnome color Chooser” doesn't work anymore. You can install it normally from official repository but the settings in it have no impact anymore.

[JackTheDipper (jackthedipper)]

Thank you very much for reporting this bug. It's caused by some "typo" in GNOME Color Chooser 0.2.4 (click this link for more details: http://gnomecc.sourceforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=19.msg46#msg46 ).

Until Ubuntu syncs with the latest Debian version of the gnome-color-chooser package, you can use my PPA, which contains GNOME Color Chooser 0.2.5 (only). That version should work for you again.

Sorry for any inconveniences,

`needs-packaging` was obviously the wrong tag, sorry. Hope that `regression-release` and `upgrade` are correct. ;-)

As we are past FF, this will need an exception.

Justification:

New upstream release fixes major regression from Intrepid introduced in Jaunty.

Debian changelog since current Ubuntu release:
