Comment 25 for bug 946480

Yeah, but that defeats the purpose of having the software center, if you can only install a broken package.

You should comment on that package with your ppa in the review so others can bypass the issue, or better yet commit the fix to the quantal package, and to the precise package (if that is possible). a broken package in the software center is not only inconvienient and silly, but it will turn potential users away from this really useful software.
1. it doesn't work
2. to make it work I have to install an 'untrusted' ppa, or
3. i have to do some hacker stuff to make my program work.

I don't mind doing this kind of stuff, and actually enjoy it sometimes. But I also enjoy programming and Beta testing. Most computer users want stuff to work. They don't want to manually edit shell scripts and change the letter 'f' to 'd'

these types of bugs NEED to be fixed, or the program should be discharged from the software center. why upload a broken program in the first place??
