Comment 5 for bug 439396

I tested the packages from Artur Rona's ppa under an up to date karmic install. They work beautifully. The packages were:

hugin-tools 0.8.0.dfsg-2~ppa0 [3,051kB]
hugin-data 0.8.0.dfsg-2~ppa0 [8,248kB]
libpano13-1 2.9.14-2~ppa0 [207kB]
hugin 0.8.0.dfsg-2~ppa0 [1,201kB]

And for anybody else who wants to test them, all you have to do is add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ari-tczew/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

And run "aptitude update && aptitude install hugin".

Be sure to remove that new line from your sources.list afterward so you don't accidentally install other development packages you don't want, and re-run aptitude update.
