Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gtk-gnutella
gtk-gnutella version 0.96.1-0ubuntu1 in Dapper.
When started from the menu nothing seems to happen. This is echoed to
stdout:
*** ANCIENT VERSION DETECTED! ***
Sorry, this program is too ancient to run without
an explicit user action: If it's not possible to upgrade
you may edit the file
/home/myusername/.gtk-gnutella/config_gnet
and set the variable "ancient_version_force" to
"gtk-gnutella/0.96.1 (2006-02-22; GTK2; Linux i686)".
You will then be able to run this version forever, but
please consider upgrading, as Gnutella is an evolving
network in which ancient software is less useful or even
harmful!
*** EXITING ***
The solution works, but imo would be a good idea to do an ugrade on the
whole package in Dapper or do some minor upgrade that would set
ancient_version_force to the right value so that users who don't know a
terminal won't think the package itself is broken.
