** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gcalctool
  
  Gnome calculator, i.e. gcalctool 5.24.1, presented in Ubuntu 8.10 does
  not calculate correctly in gradians (gon) and radians units.  In
  scientific view, switched on the radio boxes of gradians or radians
  angle units, the calculator does not calculate correctly.
  
  For example: 
  in Degrees:  Sin(90) = 1 (correct)
  in Gradians:  Sin(100) = 0.984807753 (not correct, must be 1)
  in Radians:  Sin(3.141592654/2) = 0.027412134 (not correct, must be 1)
  
  This is very serious issue especially  for surveying engineers and
  cartographers who are working with angles on daily basis.
  
  Additional information: 
- gcalctool 5.24.1, Ubuntu 8.10
+ gcalctool 5.24.1, Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid), Kernel Linux 2.6.27-11-generic, 
GNOME 2.24.1
