There's nothing wrong going on here. This was a simple case of user error. The user installed software (albeit under a different release) that was not compatible with the current release. The system was configured to use software installed in /usr/local prior to being upgraded, and continued to do so after being upgraded. That this software was incompatible with the newly installed operating system is not the fault of the operating system. ie; There is nothing to be learned by over analyzing this issue other than a valuable life lesson on the part of the system administrator. -- Chris -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
