Comment 6 for bug 243934

Hi all, i have been able to get around this bug by using the debian package from a debian mirror.

This shows that there is no problem with the debian package or other parts of ubuntu and that the fault is in the zoneminder package in the ubuntu repos.

<workaround>
i used
wget http://mirror.pacific.net.au/pub1/debian/pool/main/z/zoneminder/zoneminder_1.23.3-3_i386.deb

then
dpkg -i zoneminder_1.23.3-3_i386.deb

then following the instructions at
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Documentation#Installation_from_a_.deb

i restarted the machine
zoneminder is now running.

</workaround>
