[lubuntu-devel] Testing Lubuntu Alternate i386 version 20160727

[Nio Wiklund]

Hi Ian,

Yes, you earn a break now :-)

It seems that there was an upstream(?) bug, that was fixed in the 
lubuntu daily spin 20160729.

I'm glad it is solved, but I suggest that you keep an eye on this issue 
to check that the does not appear again.

Best regards
Nio
