Bug Description
Binary package hint: readpst
The 0.5.2 version of readpst on 8.04.1 dumps core when reading some Outlook 2003 PST files.

Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
When I directly downloaded & built the latest version of readpst (0.5.3), it handles this same PST file correctly. I notice that readpst 0.5.3 is present in 8.10. It doesn't seem to be available as a hardy-backport. As 8.04 is a long-term release, it would be wonderful if the more functional version 0.5.3 were available for it.
This might be related to Bug #78613, although the errors are not identical, and that version of readpst was 0.5.1.
Thank you for all your hard work on this package. It is appreciated!

Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. First of all, I am sorry it took us that long to get to this bug.
We have moved from Debian's libpst to another fork:http://
It may be possible to backport the new libpst 0.6.41 to Hardy; I will look into it.
