Yeah, Lucid does not use the master branch, but looking at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/gcalctool i cannot really
correlate the version to the one in GNOME.

There it says that gcalctool is 5.28, which I could imagine it relates
to 2.28, that is, the gnome-2-28 translations branch in Damned Lies.

I'm CC'ing Robert Ancell, the gcalctool developer. Robert, can you
confirm the above?

Thanks.

Regards,
David.
