Problems found at Sprints

• Ubuntu Breezy Badger needs two more prerequisites ( curl and libstdc++.so.5 )
• Ubuntu Breezy generates a traceback the first time it is run. Just rerun and it does fine.
• In the tutorial sample code, the import "from i18n import OSAFMessageFactory^? as _" is missing from the section on creating a menu item
• There is a typo in the second example code block example for the section Displaying Item Attributes in the Detail View. feedItemBlocks should be feedItemRootBlocks
