Good. That was what I expected, since the 2.4.1 from that PPA contains
the patch from post-2.4.1. What would be good news, is if we could
revert the patch in question from that package and it would then work.
>From browsing through the logs of the ubuntu -intel packages (linked
to from the upstream bug report), it looks like the problematic patch
came in through the script that starts with 22- (don't remember the
name right now, it is located in debian/patches in the source
package). What I'm not sure about is wheather disabling that patch or
just changing it is the right thing to do. I will hopefully have time
to look at it tomorrow.

If you want to give it a try with disabling it, you can do that by
commenting it out in the "series" file in the debian/patches directory
(if I remember the file name correctly - it's the only file there
which is not a patch). The way to go would be basically the same as
when you built 2.7.1. If you don't get the 2.4.1 source package with
apt-get source, you may download it (there are 3 files *orig.tar.gz,
*.diff.gz and *.dsc) from the PPA page and use dpkg-source -x to
unpack it the way apt-get source would do. If these instructions are
too vague, you may wait until I have had the time to look closer into
it.
