Comment 9 for bug 49251

Here is a workaround, and a fairly painless one at that. This will work for now, and may help in finding the issue in the future. Basically I just installed the deb packages for tilp2 from the calcforge repos.

This is what I did to get tilp2 working on my Intrepid (32bit) install...

First, if you still have the tilp2 (and dependencies) installed from the repos, open synaptic and remove them.

Then goto this site and get the packages needed...

http://repo.calcforge.org/debian/i386/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/

(for a description of each package, click on the 'Packages' link in the directory at this site, you
can download the description file by downloading 'Packages.gz' file)

download the following packages...

libticonv3_1.1.0-1_i386.deb
libtifiles2-5_1.1.1-1_i386.deb
libticalcs2-7_1.1.3-1_i386.deb
libticables2-1_1.2.0-1_i386.deb

gfm_1.02-1_i386.deb
tilp2_1.12-1_i386.deb

NOTE: I installed all of these in the order listed above

After successful install of the above packages you will have to open a terminal and run tilp as sudo

$ sudo tilp

also gfm will run as normal, just type 'gfm' in a term (no quotes :) ). It is a file grouper/ungrouper for the TI backups

When I get a moment, I will try to compare packages from the calcforge to the intrepid repos. I know that two of the Intrepid packages are older versions. Tilp2 and I think the other was libticables (which I suspect is the prob. anyway).
