Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

Duh. Somehow I ended up on the wring bug. Invaliding Oneiric task.

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

@Andrew: yours is a different issue (different backtrace). It happens I also see it, so I will look for a bug on it, or open a new one if needed.

This no longer occurs with the 16.10 cobbler.
