We already had a bug opened for this issue. But it was marked as "fix released" (I don't know why as no change ever happened to the repository package)
The Boinc package (7.0.24....precise1) in the 12.04 Ubuntu repository doesn't work for seti@home, it just produces "computation errors".
We know this issue and the ones still existing are specific to Debian/Ubuntu packages, manual installs of Boinc from Berkeley's website (7.0.25 AND 7.0.28) do not have ANY of these issues.
Locutus' "Boinc development" PPA offers a fix for the instant computation error bug. However there are still many people having issues running seti@home, even with the PPA package (which is based on Steffen's GIT). Mainly errors like this:
<core_client_version>7.0.28</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
process got signal 11
</message>
<stderr_txt>
</stderr_txt>
]]>
OR
<core_client_version>7.0.28</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
process exited with code 127 (0x7f, -129)
</message>
<stderr_txt>
../../projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/setiathome_enhanced: error while loading shared libraries: libboinc_api.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
</stderr_txt>
]]>
OR
error while loading shared libraries: libboinc_api.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
User comment:" I have in /usr/lib libboinc_api.so, libboinc_api.so.7 and libboinc_api.7.0.27 the former two are links to the latter."
So currently, many casual seti@home users are still unable to run Boinc. Both with the standard package (of course, as it's still the "broken" package), AND with the current development package in Locutus' PPA.
As I cannot recreate these issues other users are having I haven't been able to help figure anything out.
I only hope that someone with some Linux skills will figure out what the issue(s) are and report something usable to me, or here to you guys.
Because right now, seti@home with Boinc is a no-go for a lot of casual Ubuntu users. I have given up on trying to point them to the PPA, as I still get too many coming back complaining of errors, and complaining about Ubuntu having these errors. I now just tell them to download the package directly from Boinc, because it doesn't have these issues....

The package needs to be changed, perhaps to Debians SID 7.0.27, or backported from Quantal if that package has been confirmed to be in good working order.
Currently, 12.04/seti@home and lhc@home users are still unable to run Boinc without using the PPA alternatives.

Please SRU
[Impact]
This bug affects all users of Precise attempting to run Boinc 7.0.24 for the Seti@home project.
[Test case]
Bug can be reproduced by installing Boinc 7.0.24 in Ubuntu 12.04 and connecting to the seti@home project.
Downloaded work-units will instantly error upon attempting to run. In other words the Boinc package currently in the precise repository is unusable for Seti@home, and a couple others.
[Regression Potential]
Quantal has had it's version of boinc changed to 7.0.27 from Debian SID. As far as I'm aware it fixes this bug.
7.0.27 has many upstream fixes for several issues, I think that the change may bring a few new bugs, but should fix far more issues than it causes, again the current package is unusable for one of the largest projects running on Boinc.
