To save the next person the same pain it would be helpful if you could
detail the magic as performed by your friend in this bug. This will:

1) benefit any person stubmling upon this bug trying to find a solution, and
2) allow 'ubuntu' to understand the fix and work out how to prevent it
   in the future.

Linux is a colaborative effort overall.
