Comment 1 for bug 775213

This also affects pyaimt 0.8.01-2

the twisted-words package was built with quilt so it was pretty easy to put the patch to fix this problem into the ubuntu package. The problem isn't likely to impact debian as they skipped the 10.2 version of twisted-words and went to 11.0 which has the fix applied.

I uploaded a modified version of the package to my own ppa https://launchpad.net/~diane-trout/+archive/nmu

The patch against the ubuntu package appears to be available at:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/73753572/twisted-words_10.2.0-1_10.2.0-1ppa1.diff.gz

Though I tested building my own binary version of the debian package, and didn't test the source archive I uploaded. (Though both were built from the same extracted debian source package.
