Comment 18 for bug 82286

It is not fixed! I am running Hardy with the latest patches. I picked up
destar on this machine (which had asterisk installed, but not destar) using
synaptic after I received this message, so destar has not been patched, like
the copy on my other asterisk box. The result was:

The error is in destar, not in Hardy, and the patch has been known for some
time. Destar needs to be updated for the current version of python. My
communication with the maintainers indicates that neither asterisk nor
destar is being kept up to patch level on Ubuntu. That is unfortunate. I
think that this combination is the best possibility to get "plug and play"
telephony on Ubuntu, so I wish we could convince them to invest some time in
it. The other asterisk front ends are too bloated for easy installation.
