Title:
  7.0.24 "computation error" bug

Status in “boinc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “boinc” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi. Repository version 7.0.24...precise has a known bug which affects
  users running Ubuntu 12.04. The bug makes the boinc software unable to
  process any work-units for some projects.

  This is a known bug by a growing group of Seti at Home Boinc users
  running Ubuntu 12.04 and other Debain variants.

  As soon as there is a version out which overcomes this bug, the
  repository package may want to be changed.

  Thanks.


  
  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.
