Comment 7 for bug 1194044

The bug has just been fixed in the main GoldenDict git repository.

You could either build it from sources or you could use my pre-built packages, courtesy of the awesome service from openSUSE:

Just select your distro (Ubuntu) and follow instructions for your Ubuntu version to add the new repository. Then just regular 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install goldendict'.
