Status in “gfax” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gfax

Fresh Ubuntu 7.04 installation, with Gfax 0.7.6-0ubuntu2 from the official repo.

At first it started normally, and I could setup all the necessary settings for using Hylafax as transport (to be used with a remote HylaFax server in my setup). After the setup was completed, it told me to restart Gfax, and since then it keeps crashing right after start with the following error message (shown when started from a console):

$ gfax
