Hmm - OK i accept that it's real, so - this confuses me. If this is a known bug, has been fixed, and has been uploaded to the archive, then why does it not get installed when one runs 

sudo apt-get upgrade 

with all relevant repos enabled?

even

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

returns

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

No , my /etc/apt/sources.list is not broken ...  ;-)

perhaps someone can shed some light on this ?
