Whats wrong with just updating the package to 4.0.0.4 from package management? It seems to work quite well. I removed the 3.0.0.1 package and manually installed the 4.0.0.4 from azureus.

The one at http://www.getdeb.net/comment/1566 seems to be incompatible according to the comments.

This package should not be in the Intrepid category. The package depends on gtk-swt-3.2, that is incompatible with xulrunner-1.9, the version of gecko that comes with Intrepid.

You should rebuild it with gtk-swt-3.4, otherwise the Browser is not working. It's true that it works as long as downloading of torrents, but without the browser it is like using transmission.

So, please, please, rebuild with the correct dependencies so I can use this great program!!!"

I cant comment on this, but 4.0.0.4 seems to work fine using the classic UI, it even retained my settings and more importantly stopped the update loop.

I dont know about ubuntu policy, but why is there an ancient version in the repos? Since the package has been broken in the past in ubuntu i suggest stop pulling hacks out to fix it and just stick with the regular stable releases.
Either that or disable the auto-update check in vuze. There seems to be a lack of communication between the MOTU and the Vuze team. Hope it can be fixed soon :)
