Thanks Tim,

That fixed it. I never would have guessed!

I agree, it would be nice if the Ubuntu
maintainers would update the package.

Using the package makes it easy to install
whenever I need it. So I typically use the
package whenever I can get away with it.

Thanks again for your work on X-Circuit.
