Hello Herton, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

QA regression tests completed; there was one failure, bug 904381 (very similar to bug 861843). I have engaged smoser and utlemming to verify, and final acceptance is pending their opinion.

Task will keep INPROGRESS until smoser or utlemming provide a go/nogo.

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

Approved based on comments on bug 904381

[John Johansen (jjohansen)]
