Sorry. The error can appear in two places and I only fixed one of them. The change is in trunk now.

Hello Joao, or anyone else affected,

Accepted aptdaemon into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I set this to "verification-done" on the grounds that I couldn't find any regressions even though I run this since its in -proposed plus I did a manual test in a VM and couldn't find any regressions there either.
