Public bug reported: I didn't call it a bug, you did: Ubuntu bug reporting guidelines:
Are you uncertain if your issue is really a bug? Then ask a support question about Ubuntu at http://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ - these can be made into bugs later. Another support venue is http://askubuntu.com. If you are certain this is a bug please include the source package the bug is in. For help see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. If I knew the source package the (bug???) is in, I'd tell you. You are asking the wrong guy. I was installing a program when the lights went out. I wish you luck.
