-rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 376032 2009-06-23 15:33 /usr/bin/screen*

Hii Dustin

thats amazing, i never thought i will get a personal reply like this after raising a bug report.

so nice of you. will send you the output of the command you gave.

Mean while i downloaded the ubuntu 9.10 alpha 2 release.

There was another bug i found, but it was itself not raising a bug report.  Im unable to mount any media other than ext4.  Ex external usb drive, or windows partition inside the hdd.  It complain about some message bus problem.

regards
shiva

Confirming that the fix was good and a Jaunty > Karmic upgrade went smoothly without the error.

I still got the bug. I sent an error report!

I've got this error after an update from 9.04 to version 9.10.

Were you upgrading to the current Karmic, or to Karmic-Alpha2?
Looking at your package versions, it looks like you upgraded to
alpha2.

As far as I'm aware, this is fixed in the current repository.
