Comment 12 for bug 976032

Oli, thanks for the patch.

However, I think it is very unfortunate, that you package:

https://launchpad.net/~oli/+archive/compiz-place-patch/+files/compiz-core_0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.4_amd64.deb

has exactly the same naming as the official:

            http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/compiz/compiz-core_0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.4_amd64.deb

Therefore, your proposed course of action:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oli/compiz-place-patch
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
does not work.

There are ways to circumvent it, sure! Nevertheless, it is unfortunate.
