Comment 9 for bug 2054919

I have seen Gaël's post and the fix seems to be as easy as adding the 4.18.6 version to the default repositories, so synaptic (or aptitude, or whatever you use) can update xfce4-panel.

May I respectfully ask why this hasn't happened yet?

Me (and i am sure thousands of other xubuntu users) doesn't feel comfortable building and installing a package from source. And as i could not find a repository which has the updated 4.18.6 version, i am still stuck with this silly (and we learn unnecessary) crash each time i start.

I would really appreciate it if someone were to add the new version to the appropriate repositories. Thank you.
