Comment 5 for bug 109291

Sorry for the double post. I was able to patch tsclient with the patch listed above. My frustration was with figuring out how to do this. Since people looking for this information inevitably end up here, this is what you do (sort of):

apt-get source tsclient
apt-get build-dep tsclient
cd tsclient-0.150/debian/patches/
wget -O 28_sort-list.patch 'http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=192483&atid=941576&file_id=261203&aid=1865995'
wget -O 29_sort-quick-connect.patch 'http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=192483&atid=941576&file_id=279861&aid=1982040'
cd ../..
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i tsclient_0.150-1ubuntu3_i386.deb

Of course, you'll have to have a build environment with all the necessary libraries. You can get most of that stuff by doing:

apt-get install build-essential devscripts debhelper dh-make diff patch gnupg fakeroot lintian pbuilder
