Bug Description

Machine 1. Ubuntu Karmic. python-vte 1:0.22.2-0ubuntu2.1. Terminator 0.95ppa2. Compiz and Gnome
    (heard about terminator)
  sudo aptitude install terminator
    (got version 0.13, I think. tested out. loved. decided to use Launchpad ppa)
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-terminator
  sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude upgrade
    (During the upgrade, I did notice that python-vte was recommended, but not installed.)
  sudo aptitude install python-vte
    (got above-listed versions)

Machine 2. Ubuntu Lucid. python-vte 1:0.23.5-0ubuntu1.1. Terminator 0.93-0ubuntu1. Metacity and Gnome
    (decided to install here to help test for someone else's bug report)
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-terminator
  sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude upgrade
    (python-vte was apparently already installed)
    (got above-listed versions)

I don't know what problems this situation may present, though I can imagine a few. It doesn't bother me per se, at the moment, but it is now documented.

I was really surprised to see that the Terminator version is not 0.95ppa2. The version string for each of these three examples was copied verbatim from the output of 'aptitude show terminator'.

The only difference between 0.95 and 0.95ppa1/0.95ppa2 in the PPA is a small metadata change to indicate which release the package belongs to. Any karmic, lucid or maverick machine with the gnome-terminator PPA correctly added, has the same resulting version of 0.95 :)
