Note that this may remove the utouch meta package, which in turn may
remove packages like utouch-gesturetest. I *think* the following route
will preserve utouch, ensuring that nothing is removed unexpectedly:

sudo apt-get install libutouch-grail1=1.0.15-0ubuntu1
libutouch-grail-dev=1.0.15-0ubuntu1 utouch-grail-tools=1.0.15-0ubuntu1.

If you've been bitten by this issue, perform the above step with the
utouch package added on the end.

Thanks for your patience!
