I confirm this bug

[Francois-Denis Gonthier (fdgonthier)]

This has been fixed in Debian by the NMU of version 2.3.5-1.1

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=327911

There is a set of patch there can could be useful.

[Francois-Denis Gonthier (fdgonthier)]

fakesync of Debian NMU 2.3.5-1.1. This is my first fakesync. It might not be Ubuntuïcally-correct.

[Francois-Denis Gonthier (fdgonthier)]

My last patch was the result of directly applying the Debian NMU 2.3.5-1 to 2.3.5-1.1 patch.

By Ubuntu standard, it is incorrect. The fakesync should be a patch appliable to the Debian package.

Since this package has no Ubuntu-specific changes, the only thing the diff would contain is my name and comments in the changelogs. It is not something I care much about. I'll leave the sync to a real MOTU.

fixed in 2.3.5-1.1build1
