[Bug 1406825] Re: xscreensaver complains "This version of xscreensaver is VERY OLD!"

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package xscreensaver - 5.30-1ubuntu1

---------------
xscreensaver (5.30-1ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable. (LP: #1406825) Remaining changes:
    - debian/control:
      + Breaks/Replaces: the old changes are not needed anymore, but the
        new changes the screensavers sets needs it.
    - debian/rules:
      + Use /usr/share/backgrounds as image directory.
      + Add translation domain to .desktop files.
    - debian/source_xscreensaver.py:
      + Add apport hook.
    - debian/xscreensaver.dirs:
      + Install /usr/share/backgrounds. By default, settings search in
        /usr/share/backgrounds and without it, it displays an error.
    - debian/patch/90_ubuntu-branding.patch: Use Ubuntu branding.
    - debian/patches/60_sequential_glslideshow.patch:
      + Allow going through images sequentially rather than just at random in
        the GLSlideshow hack.
    - debian/patches/91_replace-gdmflexiserver.patch:
      + Use dm-tool instead of gdmflexiserver for user-switching,
        the latter is no longer provided by lightdm.
