3.6.1-1 uploaded this minute, should be available in the experimental
archive of Debian after the next run of the archive scripts.

This is a bug that is well known.
The author pointed it out to Ubuntu devs.

I uploaded specifically for Ubuntu a version of gwaei to Debian/experimental
that would fit Ubuntu, but Ubuntu devs did decide to *NOT* pull a properly
working version, but included a broken version instead.

Nothing can be done but blaiming Ubuntu developers for ignoring these bugs.
It was all well known and stated well before Ubuntu went into freeze.

Best wishes

SWANAGE (pl.n.)
Swanage is the series of diversionary tactics used when trying to
cover up the existence of a glossop (q.v.) and may include (a)
uttering a high-pitched laugh and pointing out of the window (NB. this
doesn't work more that twice); (b) sneezing as loudly as possible and
wiping the glossop off the table in the same movement as whipping out
your handkerchief; (c) saying 'Christ! I seen to have dropped some
shit on your table' (very unwise); (d) saying 'Christ, who did that?'
(better) (e) pressing your elbow on the glossop itself and working
your arms slowly to the edge of the table; (f) leaving the glossop
where it is but moving a plate over it and putting up with sitting at
an uncomfortable angle the rest of the meal; or, if the glossop is in
too exposed a position, (g) leaving it there unremarked except for the
occasional humorous glance.

gWaei 3.6.2 is out. The localized menus are back and a few other things have been polished up. It would be nice if this could be used in 12.4 and 12.10 instead of the version that isn't running at all. :-/

3.6.2-1 has been uploaded to Debian/unstable.
Ubuntu will probably pull the version from experimental soon.
