2009-01-12 12:16:05 Diogo Matsubara launchpad: statusexplanation Thank you for the report, but this is not a launchpad bug, re-assigning to Ubuntu. We're interested in why you accidentally recorded this bug as occurring in launchpad instead of ubuntu. If you can explain what happened, please let us know in bug 88818.
