Comment 30 for bug 328932

Can I just add that, as a relative noob to linux, and a complete noob to this site, that I had this problem, too, using intrepid. However I have downloaded the .diff file and applied the patch, re-ran ./configure and make install and my system now works!

So - many thanks, Luke.

But the reason for the post is that I have spent many hours following many links before arriving here. Once I had applied the patch (it is amazing how much I learned on the way) and got my system working again (tested with openarena and chromium) it occurred to me that the libsdl1.2 version in the intrepid repository is 1.2.13-2ubuntu1 whilst I now have 1.2.13-4ubuntu3

From the amount of posts on the net, plenty of other intrepid users are suffering this problem. It is probably out of place asking here, and if I am breaking protocol I apologise in advance, but is it possible for someone to get this fix in the repository for the benefit of all?

Many thanks again.
