[Bug 1009536] Re: Ubuntu 12.04/7.0.24/ Seti at home

[Dave]

Um, the package in the repository is still the broken 7.0.24.... so yes its
still broken. The fix is released into PROPOSED.  and as I said if you make
a case for your bug perhaps the package in PROPOSED can be changed before
it goes into the 12.04 repository

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04/7.0.24/ Seti at home

Status in “boinc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “boinc” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  We already had a bug opened for this issue. But it was marked as "fix
  released" (I don't know why as no change ever happened to the
  repository package)

  The Boinc package (7.0.24....precise1) in the 12.04 Ubuntu repository
  doesn't work for seti at home, it just produces "computation errors".

  The package needs to be changed, perhaps to Debians SID 7.0.27, or
  backported from Quantal if that package has been confirmed to be in
  good working order.

  Currently, 12.04/seti at home and lhc at home users are still unable to run
  Boinc without using the PPA alternatives.

  Please SRU

  [Impact]
  This bug affects all users of Precise attempting to run Boinc 7.0.24 for the Seti at home project.

  [Test case]
  Bug can be reproduced by installing Boinc 7.0.24 in Ubuntu 12.04 and connecting to the seti at home project.
  Downloaded work-units will instantly error upon attempting to run. In other words the Boinc package currently in the precise repository is unusable for Seti at home, and a couple others.

  [Regression Potential]
  Quantal has had it's version of boinc changed to 7.0.27 from Debian SID. As far as I'm aware it fixes this bug.
  7.0.27 has many upstream fixes for several issues, I think that the change may bring a few new bugs, but should fix far more issues than it causes, again the current package is unusable for one of the largest projects running on Boinc.
