Please backport guilt from natty to lucid

[Herbert V. Riedel]

Binary package hint: guilt

after upgrading to lucid, guilt refuses to work with the following error:

$ guilt
Unsupported version of git (1.7.0.4)

[Herbert V. Riedel (hvr)]

$ apt-cache policy guilt
guilt:
  Installed: 0.32.2-1

fyi, installing guilt 0.33-1 from debian sid fixed the problem for me

[Iulian Udrea (iulian)]

Indeed. I have uploaded a new version to Debian which closes this bug. Maybe I will request a backport from Lucid+1 to Lucid.

[Thomas Horsten (thomas-horsten)]

This really needs to be fixed in Lucid as it doesn't work when installing the standard versions of git-core and guilt. Breakage from the outset..... only way to get guilt is to compile it from source.
