It may have been. It isn't now though, and I still get the message. |

Yes, it seems not to be related to BOINC. Even so, I decided that recent |
| 21 |
security changes required me to mount BOINC's partition in the default |
| 22 |
location /var/lib/boinc instead of under my home directory, where I used to |
| 23 |
have it before the graphical manager became useful. That's made no |
| 24 |
difference either. |
