Hello, I've got a box with gNewSense 2.3-deltah which I've read is based on Ubuntu Hardy. When I try to install the package from the download page, or install one of the nightly builds, I get an error about a missing dependency liblame0. I saw an "ugly hack" listed here:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-09/065299.html
It works but the package is still listed as broken in Synaptic. Does this happen for other people on Hardy or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks, Jonathan
liblame0 is not DFSG free because it is a patented algorithm in a
number of countries, like the US and Germany. That's why Debian and
GnuSense don't distribute it. Ubuntu is probably based in a country
where that patent isn't valid, so they choose to include it.

I used to keep with Hardy then i unfortunately was forced to upgrade to Jaunty. liblame0 has been renamed (?) to libmp3lame0, so you may find it by that name. It comes from the Multiverse repo, which is not enabled by default. For all kinds of copyrighted stuff, add the Medibuntu.org repo. (It might or might not solve this particular problem.) Andras
