Comment 9 for bug 1198972

In order to use the up-to-date GoldenDict version with all the latest bugfixes, you could either build GoldenDict from the official git repository or 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'.
