I totally agree with you, this is kind of ridiculous. Waiting til the
next version?? I can't wait until April for it to be taken care of. As
a long, long time user of Debian, and a strong advocate for the use of
Ubuntu to anyone with technical savvy enough to handle Linux, I'm pretty
appalled at the seriousness of this problem and how much of an issue
this has been. Anyone running a mail server on Ubuntu with
authentication (and if you're not, you're dumb) is likely to encounter
this. This has seriously made me reconsider if there is a better
distribution I should be using, one that won't significantly damage my
system when I upgrade. EVERY WEEK this re-breaks on my system and I
have to manually fix it. I only know it's down when I wake up to an
inbox of cron errors or an angry phone call from a client. All of the
packages have been set on hold in aptitude, yet every week it seems to
screw itself up again without any help on my part. This SERIOUSLY has
to get taken care of ASAP
