Binary package hint: ncmpcpp

From an email to the Ubuntu bugSquad:

Dear Madam/Sir,

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and I installed program ncmpcpp 0.4.1. from Ubuntu
repositories. There's bug described on the page http://unkart.ovh.org/ncmpcpp/:

ATTENTION: Feature, that allows you to physically remove directories from your
disk while being in browser is BROKEN IN ALL VERSIONS < 0.5.4 and may, under
some random circumstances, cause UNWANTED DELETION OF OTHER FILES. It needs to
be manually enabled in configuration file though, so if you don't use it, you're
fine. Otherwise you should upgrade to 0.5.4 or higher version immediately.

I used the feature, that can cause UNWANTED DELETION OF OTHER FILES. (I read
the ATTENTION notice too late.)

It removed about 1/2 of my HOME folder!!!!!

I would like to ask you, if you can remove this program from all
repositories, where it is included or fix the bug or use another version.

Yours sincerely

Natty already has ncmpcpp version 0.5.4-1, which is not affected.
