Comment 18 for bug 685552

I have stated that several times before its a shame that this bug is at a
"medium" this bug can literary brake your Ubuntu system. leaving it so the
user would have to re-install or worse for ubuntu install another OS other
then ubuntu this is a critical error / bug in which it has the potential to
make or brake the ubuntu community. If anyone from canonical or head in the
ubuntu community you have been Warned.
