As I said in my previous comment (#80 on this bug), the Precise repositories will not be updated with any updated packages without an SRU (Stable Release Update) being filed. That is outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates. Any updates pushed to the package at this point will be accepted for Quantal. Can you confirm that this package builds/runs in Quantal before I start messing around with the package in my test environments to remove the patch that is referreed to as the problem causer?
I am including part of the email which was sent to the Bug Squad mailing list: There is a patch in the precise boinc package that make it run with a computation error with 2 or more project. See [1] After trying some time we figured out that the cause is the patch MoreInformativeAppStartFailure.patch taken from debian. The debian mantainer already knows this problem (I take boinc directly from debian's git) and disabled the affected patch. So what I asking for is to disable this patch in the ubuntu repo, or maybe sync the latest 7.0.27 version from my recipe https://code.launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+recipe/boinc-daily that fixes the problem for some GPU cards.
