The version number (12.1) in the ppa is in conflict with the official
version of aircraft-manager (belmont11), as it appears to be older than
the current version. I renamed the patched version
belmont11.2~ppa1~hardy1. (other than that everything is the same).
Binary attached.

PS: I have previously tried to find an avenue to report bugs to the upstream maintainer, including sending direct e-mail. So far, I have been unsuccessful. I will likely upload a fixed version of the program to my PPA repository at some point in the near future so that there will at least be a working version available.
