Tim Edwards, there's another way to work-around this that might be easier. I should've added a comment on it.
For the command-line client ONLY: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/unison For both graphical and command-line client: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/unison-gtk Make sure to download the right architecture from below, most likely 'amd64' for 64-bit, or 'i386' for 32-bit. You shouldn't need any of the dependencies; Ubuntu 14.04 has new-enough versions. If you have both packages installed (no need), you'll have to upgrade both or remove the old 'unison' package as 'unison-gtk' seems to offer the same program. I've had success directly downloading the .deb packages for Unison 2.48.3-1 and installing them on my desktop and laptop running Ubuntu 14.04 with latest updates. Nothing seems to break, just a slight sensible re-arrangement of the GUI buttons. This isn't the best idea, but it's a viable work-around for now. A proper backport to trusty- updates would be better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1421184 Title: Merge latest version (2.48.3-1) with Debian To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unison/+bug/1421184/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
