Since I also can't really test we simply rely on Kerstin to check whether it solves her problem. Kerstin, you might like to wait for the next mirror sync until staden 2.0.0+b10-3 will be available. Please confirm whether both problems you reported are solved. Thanks for testing. James, if you are interested there are some more patches[2] in the packaging reporitory. Some of them might be of interest - at least the spelling.patch with some spelling fixes. Thanks again for your prompt help Andreas.
