Yes, this is an Intrepid bug. There was a conversation on the Intrepid testing forum, and the bug report came out of that, as I understand. I am running Intrepid up-to-date on an HP laptop, with a Windows Vista machine on the same network. Samba connection is fine using Hardy, shows the symptoms s

I have at last tracked down the glitch. It seems that yet another package designed to work with evolution, nautilus-sendto, has evolution as a recommends, and evolution has spamassassin and gnome-pilot as recommends, so the update-manager sees the 2-step connection and keeps flagging spamassassin a

Sebastian, Thanks for the explanation - glad to know that it was an intentional change between Hardy and Intrepid. However, I am afraid there is still a problem. Having been using the package system for over a year now, I do expect it itself to remain stable and reliable, and I have found out var

for me it occurs in Hardy 32-bit or Hardy 64-bit with Firefox 3.0 beta 3, but not in Gutsy 32-bit with Firefox 3.0 b3pre. It's interesting that Paul mentions Compiz - I have Compiz enabled in Gutsy 32-bit, using fglrx and xgl, but not in hardy. Compiz won't run for me in Hardy either with open-sour

This bug makes it difficult for me (and others, I'm sure) to use Firefox 3.0 beta 3 in Hardy.
