** Description changed: We already had a bug opened for this issue. But it was marked as "fix released" (I don't know why as no change ever happened to the repository package) The Boinc package (7.0.24....precise1) in the 12.04 Ubuntu repository doesn't work for seti@home, it just produces "computation errors". The package needs to be changed, perhaps to Debians SID 7.0.27, or backported from Quantal if that package has been confirmed to be in good working order. Currently, 12.04/seti@home and lhc@home users are still unable to run Boinc without using the PPA alternatives. - -Dave [Edited for clarity] + + + Please SRU + + [Impact] + This bug affects all users of Precise attempting to run Boinc 7.0.24 for the Seti@home project. + + [Test case] + Bug can be reproduced by installing Boinc 7.0.24 in Ubuntu 12.04 and connecting to the seti@home project. + Downloaded work-units will instantly error upon attempting to run. In other words the Boinc package currently in the precise repository is unusable for Seti@home, and a couple others. + + [Regression Potential] + Quantal has had it's version of boinc changed to 7.0.27 from Debian SID. As far as I'm aware it fixes this bug. + 7.0.27 has many upstream fixes for several issues, I think that the change may bring a few new bugs, but should fix far more issues than it causes, again the current package is unusable for one of the largest projects running on Boinc. + + https://launchpad.net/~blueyed Daniel Hahler has agreed to sponsor the + upload for SRU
