[Bug 1132015] Re: Avision backend does not work in 12.04 LTS

[Rolf Leggewie]

Getting the sponsors team involved.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706877#c5 has the gist of
the problem.  Apparently commit 37b45c4f76a66f9cd2c3d4bd98dd371dfbda74e5
introduced this problem upstream and it was fixed in commit
33bb529c5f8ca013fb499addc14c7fb229203ea8.  The patch in this ticket
reverse-applies to the source in quantal and raring.  Thus, closing the
ticket as fixed and nominating for backporting to precise.

Kumaran, thank you for reporting this problem and including the patch.
Please always be sure to let us know what series of Ubuntu and what
version of the package you are running.  Thank you.
