Dear all,

thanks for letting me know of this problem.

(but please read to the end - Ubuntu should upgrade to 3.2.0b1-2!!!)

No. I am the maintainer of gwaei in Debian. I have no upload rights
in Ubunto, and have no idea how to get something into Ubuntu.

I *ONLY* package for Debian since this is the only thing I know
and I can package for.

Ubuntu takes the packages I produce and drops them into Ubuntu, but
who and how, I don't know.

YOu mean the last one called "gwaei_ubuntu12.04.patch"?
Is it necessary also fro gwaei 3.2.1, or only for 3.2.0b1 ?

No, I wasn't aware.

BTW, *WHY* does Ubuntu not use the new package gwaei 3.2.0b1-2
which is in Debian testing and sid and fixes this bug already,
as far as I see???

Can you please get the Debian package -2, build it and try it out,
maybe this is already enough!

Best wishes

Norbert
