This will be automatically synced into feisty; new upstream versions aren't allowed in edgy-updates (but may be allowed in edgy-backports later).

There is a bug in version 1.4.1 of rdesktop (see Launchpad Bug #68583) which essentially makes email composition in Lotus Notes impossible.

I'm not sure how many other applications are affected by this bug in rdesktop, but Lotus Notes is a pretty big one for Linux users since there is no native client.

It would be nice if Ubuntu would fix this in edgy-updates.
