** Description changed: Hi. Repository version 7.0.24...precise has a known bug which affects users running Ubuntu 12.04. The bug makes the boinc software unable to process any work-units for some projects. This is a known bug by a growing group of Seti@Home Boinc users running Ubuntu 12.04 and other Debain variants. As soon as there is a version out which overcomes this bug, the repository package may want to be changed.
