[Ipe-discuss] Bad news for Ubuntu users for the upcoming Jaunty release - No IPE?

[Dietmar Winkler]

OK I fully understand. But is there any reason to now have 7 (!) boxes
of gray1 to gray7 with just black as colour? I think this is a different
issue than the enhanced colour palette from the bug you quoted. It seems
that the original definitions of the gray levels are completely missing.
Now I'm not sure if this is simply an upstream bug or a packaging issue.
