Bug#567382: gcalctool: calculates negative powers wrong (-2^2=-4 should be 4)

[volcan]

Package: gcalctool
Version: 5.28.2-1
Severity: important

Using 5.28.2 - the latest in my repository,
the square button works right, meaning -2<square> = 4
but the raise to does not, -2^2 = -4, or similarly -2^4 = -16 (where it should just be 16) There is a newer version available from soure, I don't know if the problem is solved, i can't build it, but anyway should be pretty easy to fix, and if it is fixed in the latest version then please add this to the deb repos.
