Comment 12 for bug 206542

Just did a Gutsy to Hardy upgrade since Gutsy is now no longer supported, and this issue remains.

It doesn't matter whether this issue is "fixed" in 8.10 or 9.04 if people are upgrading to Hardy and will stick with that release. Indeed, since one has to upgrade to Hardy to upgrade beyond Hardy (unless, perhaps, they can upgrade from Hardy to the next LTS release, which is a trick I've yet to see carried out), I think it would be advantageous to fix Hardy, not to patch up the problem in some other release that the user might not get round to installing for quite some time.
