Our dear Ubuntu packager got his wires crossed and mistakenly uploaded a
git build to the stable PPA. Upon realizing his mistake, he immediately
auto-punished himself by repeatedly slamming his head on his desk.
We still love him, even though he's probably got a big bump on his
forehead now. ;)
Apparently, this situation is not easily fixable, as launchpad does not
allow you to upload a packge with a version number lower than an
existing one. I'm not a packager, so I'd be happy to be corrected.

The authentication scheme was changed in 1.5.2, and it seems that it
broke scrobbling for some people.
Scrobbling works for me, making it hard to find the source of the
problem ;)
So please post any information on the following bug, in particular the
information requested in my last comment there :
