I'm not aware of any open bugs regarding this issue. As I said above: I |
| 28 |
didn't upgrade due to time constraints (mostly because it's a remote |
| 29 |
system). If you open a new bug for the issue (if there isn't an open one |
| 30 |
at b.g.o.) it would be nice if you could add me to CC (or reply with the |
| 31 |
bug id so I can add myself). |
