No way, it's not a simple fix, but a completely new architecture, which alone
prohibits a hoary update. Even more, the new has a new API thus it depends on a
whole lot of newer versions of other software.

I leave that open as NEEDINFO until you could test the Breezy version. However,
Colony-1 is pretty old already, but it should be enough to fix your bug (don't
upgrade your production system to it, rather install breezy in a spare
partition, or just use the live CD).
