Comment 27 for bug 42269

Hi,

the feisty version doesn't appear to be fixed yet, please upload a fix to feisty first.

I'm also a little bit concerned to replace the upstream tarball for edgy. I've been looking at jdong's source package, but FWIW this fix won't work, since we cannot have an upstream tarball with the same version and a different md5sum than the older one.

I see two possibilities to fix edgy though:
1) make a new orig-tarball with a newer upstream version (e.g. 2.5.0.0fixed1). That should however be aligned to a fix for feisty.
2) fixing the issue by replacing the broken png's during build (e.g. with uuencoded pngs or supplying xpm's and converting them to png).

I'd strongly advise to take route 2), but I'd also like to hear other opinions about this.

Cheers,
   Stefan.
