Bug Description

Krusader is installed by fetching Debian Sid packages and using dpkg to install it. This is not an acceptable way of installing packages on Ubuntu, and will lead to binary incompatibilities and/or upgrade hell come time for Edgy.

I understand a new version of Krusader is not in Dapper. The proper way to get these packages is through Backports, or by using pbuilder to build clean Dapper packages.

I'll use pbuilder to properly compile some 1.70 debs. Until then, the krusader instaler shoud just use Dapper's version.

Dapper Backports marked as affected -- a newer Krusader should be brought in via Backports.

Marking as Needs Info as the package is not in Edgy.

Also marked Ubuntu source package krusader as affected. When you guys get the chance, please sync a newer krusader from Sid (sid is already at 1.70, and that's good for us)

Thanks!

I will downgrade the package to 1.6 until the backports can be updated. This will be done on the next release.

These are krusaders built in a dapper pbuilder, with a backports-style version suffix.

Automatix should use these while awaiting Dapper Backports.

I will downgrade the package to 1.6 until the backports can be updated. This will be done on the next release.

We are going to host this package on our server until the backports are updated.
