Comment 99 for bug 61463

Wow, I can't believe that they were prepared to break so much software and waste so many end users time in the interests of being technically correct.

This issue means I cannot wholeheartedly recommend Ubuntu to users anymore.

I've started migrating my systems away from Ubuntu and wont be deploying anymore end user systems with Ubuntu unfortunately.

It's not entirely out of the ordinary to need to install legacy software from time to time and I'm not wanting to open myself up to anymore support calls sprouting from such a silly stance.
