Comment 10 for bug 1175458

  I was imformed about 5-6 months ago that it was too late for an update to Aptoncd for Ubuntu 13.04, but the a revised version would be put in place for Ubuntu 13.10. The version in the team area here in launchpad still seems to work, but the version in the Ubuntu with all updates applied still has a problem and produces the following when "restore" then "load" is entered:
