Yes, we don't have much user feedback. People seemingly prefer bitching
on unrelated forums about missing this or buggy that, to directing
these complaints to the project's maintainer. :-( Quite a few people before
you were having problems with installing mtPaint on Ubuntu - but you
were the first who've thought of notifying _me_ of those problems. While
from long-ago forum posts found by Google I knew that the problem
exists, without your cooperation I couldn't devise a working solution -
simply because I don't have an Ubuntu install, nor sufficient inclination
to have one (as you see yourself, Ubuntu isn't a distro suitable for a
programmer, because of complete lack of necessary tools).
