Comment 32 for bug 786317

Looking at matthaeus123's launchpad page, it looks like the 2.7.3 version is
still floating around. You just have to specify that version when you
apt-get install (after adding the ppa). The syntax is

sudo apt-get install package_name=package_version

So try specifying one of those 2.7.3 versions and see if that works for you.

Cheers

Chris
