Hi,
thanks a lot for the fast reply! Any other choice to avoid that bug without patching the package? I'm using vanilla Debian/Ubuntu builds here and like to avoid manual compilation... Unfortunately, no. You could ask the Debian package maintainers to apply

Or just rebuild the Debian packages yourself with the patch applied.
1. Download source packages (orig, dsc, and diff files)
2. apt-get build-dep <package>
3. dpkg-source -x <dsc file>
4. cd into directory created by dpkg-source -x
5. do whatever it is you want to the source
6. fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b~Seth
