Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Source package: compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported
Ubuntu Release: Ubuntu Karmic RC - Fully up-to-date
Package Versions:
   Compiz: 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu2
   Compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported: 0.8.3+git20090911-1ubuntu1

What I expected to happen: For the Compiz plugins "Snow" to activate and stay activated, and for it to work.
What happened instead: I activate "Snow", but it disables itself immediately after.

While trying to enable the Compiz Snow plugin found in compiz-fusion-
plugins-unsupported, I encountered this error:

/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Plugin 'core' has ABI version
'20090619', expected ABI version '20090207'.

/usr/bin/compiz.real (snow) - Error: InitObject failed
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Couldn't activate plugin 'snow'

Now, the specific problem is the line "/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) -
Error: Plugin 'core' has ABI version '20090619', expected ABI version
'20090207'.", which means that the current Compiz package is
incompatible with the Unsupported package. I feel that this should be
fixed or the unsupported package completely removed from the
repositories, as the package is useless like this.

Yes, I know the unsupported package *is* unsupported by name, but this
is a serious problem that should be remedied somehow.
