Comment 3 for bug 491906

Abdul Qadeer,

Thank you for reporting the bug.
It seems that package zekr for karmic is broken. I think this is because a dependency package, velocity, has been upgraded to a newer version which is not compatible with zekr0.5.

Abdul Qadeer, for the time being you can use zekr's repository:
http://zekr.org/wiki/Installation#Zekr_Repository

We will try to get it fixed.

Launching Zekr...
