Maybe you should ask that to those people who can actually do something
about it, ie, the Ubuntu-people.

This is an Ubuntu-issue. I oculd offcourse answer that if you install
Fedora this will all work fine. ;) But better let the Ubuntu-people fix
this problem.

But they are a bit behind on fpc-versions, because they are dog-slow and
now it's too late to update the fpc-version in Ubuntu 8.10. But let them
know, send in reports to them. If they don't get complaints, they will
think it's not an issue.
