[Bug 673021] Re: Graphviz version should be upgraded for Lucid

[László Monda]

At this time of writing (2012-11-27) Graphviz 2.26.3 is featured in
Quantal.  This Graphviz version was released on 2010-01-26, almost 3
years ago!

Currently the most recent Graphviz release is 2.28.0, released on
2011-05-06.  I had to upgrade because of a missing feature from the debs
offered on the Graphviz homepage which was doable but painful due to the
conflicts that I had to resolve.

Please update the Importance of this ticket - This is certainly a
pressing issue.

Title:
  Graphviz version should be upgraded for Lucid

Status in “graphviz” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: graphviz

  The Graphviz version in Lucid (10.04) is still 2.20, which is some
  years old and contains a number of known issues. The problems with
  using such an old version has come up on the graphviz-interest list
  multiple times, I could dig up the following with a few minutes of
  googling:

  I know that Maverick and Natty are going to have version 2.26, why not
  give the same version to Lucid - as it's an LTS release, we'll be
  using it for years and have the same problem. There should not be any
  major dependency issues, at least the Ubuntu packages on graphviz.org
  work just fine on my systems, I would just like to have an
  installation I can manage properly from apt.
