Note your patch level: 25.  Jon patched the PPA build at the time, and 
he has made more a recent release on get_iplayer 2.83.  If you really 
had get_iplayer 2.82 as released, it would be broken.  New Ubuntu 12.04 
LTS users have the option of broken 2.80 (broken 2.82 for 12.10 users) 
in Ubuntu repo or not-broken 2.83 PPA build.  You were fortunate enough 
to get an intermediate build.  But you should update :}  After the 
cluster-you-know-what in June, I'm keeping the message simple: 
get_iplayer 2.83+ is what you need, whether you get it from the the PPA 
or elsewhere.
