I admit the text I was suggested 9 years ago is not relevant any more
these days. I keep Amul Shah in CC of this mail as well as the Debian
Med mailing list where things like this are discussed. Amul is part of
the upstream fis-gtm team and will hopefully know some answer.
BTW, in principle its the best idea to report issues like this by
doing
reportbug fis-gtm
(on a Debian system ... no idea how it works on Ubuntu, sorry) to have a
record in our bug tracking system (and yes, broken links are considered
bugs).
I need to admit that I personally do not use fis-gtm - I just supported
the packaging and thus I have no idea how to set it up or what links
might be helpful.
Sorry of not beeing able to provide direct help but I hope you might
get on your way with further hints from others.
Kind regards
Andreas.
