Comment 25 for bug 198724

Strange, as I understand it, the problem is on Ubuntu's side. I used
the package from Debian to install on my Ubuntu system without a
problem. My understanding was that the Debian version was a 32 bit
version running on the 64bit platform because there were issues in the
partimage code making it unsafe for 64bit systems. Of course, this is
based on memory of a problem I don't fully understand so take it for
what it's worth. For me the fix was to install the .deb file as
provided by Debian and it's been working without issue since my post to
that effect on this bug.
