Hi,

PSPP was working good with Jaunty. It doesn't work anymore since I upgraded to Karmic Koala.

Hi
I too have had this problem. Would appreciate info on rectifying it

Hi,

I really don't know how to rectify this bug. It is very annoying...
Considering the fact that so many people got this bug with PSPP with Karmic,
I guess developers will find a solution soon.

The best we can do is to wait for an update.

Regards

This is fixed in the new upstream release, 0.6.2

Upstream git commit: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/pspp.git/commit/?h=stable&id=f5d9f9911bd04682a7edfb48521a12202e561e0a

This bug was fixed in the package pspp - 0.6.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
pspp (0.6.2-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
   - Make GtkItemEntry compatible with GTK+ 2.17.4 and later. (LP: #423495)
  * debian/rules: Drop deprecated dh_desktop call.
  * debian/control: Add ${misc:Depends}

Debdiff for Karmic only backporting the fix for this bug. I can confirm that it resolves the issue and builds in a Karmic pbuilder.

Subscribing motu-sru for an ACK, and uploading the new release to Lucid to include the fix there.

ACK from motu-sru. Proceed with upload.

Accepted into karmic-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Uploaded to karmic-proposed, waiting in the queue for approval.

Hi everybody

I reinstall PSPP from the proposed repository. It works very well now.

Thank you very much.

No for me...
