Comment 7 for bug 1348384

Hi John,

You can download the old package from ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libspectre1

Install with : sudo dpkg -i libspectre1_0.2.6-1build1_amd64.deb

Do not try and remove the newer 0.2.7 package before you install this one, that would require you to remove a ton of stuff to satisfy dependencies.

After installing, you can go into synaptic package manager, search for libspectre1, click on it, then select Package->Lock Version from the menu. That will keep it from trying to update to the new version.

Just a workaround until the problem gets fixed, but I hope it helps.
