I payed for professional linux support to solve this problem. Because I don't tend to give people's names to any forum I e-mailed to some developer direct contact information to reach that person. While this was rather long time ago, the exact solution of the problem is hardly remembered any more by that person. Perhaps we should leave this case as it is - at least for now. My system had so many problems during the hardy experience that unfortenately I feel it is time to move on and find a distro which suits better to my needs. Ubuntu is great in many ways but some policies practised within it are simply not for business use. One just have to be sure that essential packages for daily use are there in the next release as well. On the other hand, debian style opportunity to get the latest programs are important as well.
To make my point clear, the current situation is that one has to make choise between up to date programs and a risk that essential programs are not in the repos any more. As I wish to make no flames and it would be defenately considered as such if I report this as a new bug, I sincerely hope that you make your best evaluation if this should lead to a separated bug report or not. Here, propably as a part of a rarely known bug there shouldn't be harm to ubuntu's fame.
