So this whole bug is clearly just a packaging problem! The old compiled binaries still run on newer Ubuntu machines, so the easiest step to fix this bug is to simply add those old binaries to the unison-all and unison-all-gtk packages, which currently are empty and useless.
It would be nice to also backport the latest Unison to the old systems, but presumably that would be more work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568459 Title: unison incompatible with older ubuntu/debian versions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unison/+bug/1568459/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
