Hi,
thanks for keeping with me on this , i'm on step away from re-instaling from the cd but if you think you can get useful info we will try again...

when i tried this i got the old message from last time
error: the launchpadlib python module is not installed . the function is not available.....

i tried to sudo apt-get install python-launchpadlib incase somehow that had got lost but it returned ...

pythin-lauchpadlib is already the newest version ...
tried sudo apport-cli -u 1170368 one last time with the
same returned error message :
error: the launchpadlib python module is not installed . the function is not available.....

any more ideas or should we give up ?

any point reinstalling the old cd from last week with final beta rather than cutting a new one ?

my worry is that once it is loadedf and running there will be updates and i will end up here again. So are ther other users with this probem ?

i don't want to have a u/s computer for a week waiting for the actual release of 13 if i can avoid it.

Thanks,
Peter
