Have you reported such bugs to the Ubuntu project? No. It's not a bug in Ubuntu, so much as a problem that they seem to have exported an incorrect mix of packages, probably during one of Debian-ocaml-maint's "upgrade the whole world" exercises between 3.09.1 and 3.09.2. In any case you can fix the issue by upgrading to the current testing version (Feisty). If you're apt-pinning, that's not too intrusive. > I'm myself considering to move from Debian to Ubuntu because > the Debian project is now accepting non-free software in main, Debian is > no longer focused on Free Software[1] and at least Ubuntu take care of > end-users ("it just works").

There are whole websites dedicated to "fixing" Ubuntu by installing huge amounts of not merely non-free, but outright copyright-infringing software. Rich. -- Richard Jones, CTO Merjis Ltd.
