Oh no! It seems my addition of the freedesktop bug to this tracker removed the confirmed flag for this bug and with it the high importance status :-( This is all the worse since one of the uim devs already answered that this looks more like a packaging than an upstream bug. He did provide some valuable information which I quote here.
"But as far as I can tell, it seems something is wrong in updating sequence in uim packages (mismatch in libuim version and uim-common package). With a quick search, uim package in Debian is already in 1.2.1-9, so possibly checking their bugs and changelog can help (http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/u/uim/uim_1.2.1-9/changelog)." ** Also affects: uim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Changed in: uim (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- update-manager failed for configuring uim-common https://launchpad.net/bugs/69020 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
