Comment 38 for bug 10337

I don't think this bug is fixed in the latest version from upstream debian and I
couldn't find any version like the one mentined in the ubuntu mirror(plus the
fact you were talking about sparc which I don't think ubuntu supports currently)
so I figured you were talking about the version in unstable. But in anycase,
its still broken even when I retrieve the latest version. Thanks.
