Don't worry, no problem

But I have to add a rant about Ubuntu's bug tracker

Ubuntu's bug tracker just sucks, sorry there are no
other words to describe this mess.

It is over-engineered. A lot if information about how bugs are treated,
there is supervisor blabla, but no access to a simple interface.

You can send bugs via email, hurray I thought: small detail you need to
synchronize your gpg pub key, sigh

But then the bug report is at least 5 times rejected, because you need
to write affects with a space etc etc

And of course there is no template.

Sorry I gave up, I have better things to do.

Sorry, for the rant, that has nothing to do with you of course, and the
people on the list, 

But maybe somebody had similar experience, or wants to send a bug report
(don't)

Regards

Uwe
