Hi Alan,

Ubuntu 14.04 uses 2.3.0, python3-pil
Ubuntu 14.10 uses 2.6.1, python3-pil

I've not tested this on Linux, but 2.6.1 presented problems with WSJT on
Windows, but not WSPR. I could re-spin the PPA to force the use of
python3-pil ( << 2.6.1 ) but that may not work as I don't see a 14.10+
backport for python3-pil v2.3.0 in Utopic or in main for Vivid.

So, after looking at this a bit more, I'll be pulling the Utopic and
Vivid builds off Launchpad until either one of two conditions are met;

-A backport for python3-pil (<< 2.6.1 ) is available for Utopic / Vivid
-The WSPR / WSJT code up gets updated to work with 2.6.1 PIL

There may be more issues than just -PIL, so until things can be tested
thoroughly, this is for the best. There's no sense in putting more folks
through what seems to be a package incompatibility issue at the moment.
I'm sure it will be resolved at some point though. When it is fixed, we
can easily push them back onto Launchpad.

Apologies for all the pain.
