It might.  It's still a damned bad idea to go telling people to use
automatix, when the Ubuntu developers and _almost_ everybody on this list
will tell you not to.

Telling someone to install Automatix "because it worked for me" is
essentially "not giving advice".  There are no pros and cons there -
_every_ post I've seen suggesting automatix has conveniently left out the
big con - that it may leave your system in a broken configuration.

Terence, otoh, told the poster why it would be a bad idea.
