I really think it might be the best if the Ubuntu specific changes are undone. I'm not sure what they are supposed to achieve, but it appears that they do more damage then good.

Up till Gutsy I used the normal Debian version of aMule, which worked well (during Feisty Beta it eat a lot of CPU power, but that problem went away after some update before the Feisty went live). Every once in a blue moon it crashed (simply closing itself), but that was the only problem.

Now with Gutsy the version form the Debian repositories does not work any longer. It complains about an unmet dependency (I forgot what it was, but Ubuntu has a newer version of that file which the Debian aMule won't accept). So I compiled an aMule 2.2 Version from a CVS. Despite being only development snapshoots this Version served me since the Gutsy release without a hitch.

So, for me at least, the only version of aMule that really causes problems with Ubuntu is the one in the Ubuntu repositories, the one modified by the Ubuntu developers, hmmmm. :)
