Hamachi gets killed in Ubuntu 9.10

Problem: Hamachi gets Killed after upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10

Cause: Hamachi's binary is compressed with upx. You just need to uncompress it.

Resolution:
Assuming /usr/bin is were hamachi's binary is in the computer, run the following commands

# sudo apt-get install upx-ucl
# cd /usr/bin    [Assuming /usr/bin is were hamachi's binary is]
# sudo upx -d hamachi
