Hello Dear Developers,
I'm an Edgy user. In my opinion, the problem still exists.
Today I searched for "hearts" in Synaptic and installed what proposed. (I didn't give attention at that time but later I realized that it was version 0.1.2-1.) It simply didn't work and crashed at startup. After some search and having no idea on the availability of a newer version in Ubuntu repositories, I downloaded the .deb file from its developers' site. Namely: gnome-hearts_0.1.3-1_i386.deb . After manual install, it was OK, I managed to play the game. I went back to Synaptic to check the version which was not working. Made a "hearts" search in Synaptic again. This time result was gnome-hearts 0.1.3-1 and labeled as "installed". Right clicked > properties. It says: "0.1.3-1 (now)" "0.1.2-1ubuntu1 (edgy)". As I can feel, that "now" refers to some other repositories (maybe the one for 7.04) but at the very beginning Synaptic had offered me just the one for Edgy, version 0.1.2-1 and that one was not working. At least it didn't work on my Edgy machine. But 0.1.3-1 works. Under these conditions, isn't it useful to replace the newer version with the older one even for Edgy repository in order to prevent people download and install something which doesn't work?
Regards.
