Comment 48 for bug 1009536

The main thing is your bug is still an issue that needs to be dealt with.
If we push your bug then perhaps we could get a better version than the
7.0.27 put into the standard repository in the future. In the meantime use
locutus' ppa with 7.0.33 for now it should work for you.
