<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dasher/4.9.0-2> says that this package failed to build on karmic amd64. The build log shows a bunch of broken packages while trying to install the build dependencies. This was probably a transient failure and the package should be rebuilt.

Hi,

The package has now been re-built, does this now work?

Thanks,

James

[Anders Kaseorg (andersk)]

Yes, thanks.
