[lubuntu-devel] Lubuntu-devel Digest, Vol 73, Issue 2

[Fritz Hudnut]

@Thomas W:

So this morning I'm booted in Tumbleweed and I saw the thread on the
package dependency issue posted by Neblaz and clicking on the link . . .
actually opened into the thread!!!!

Don't know if this has anything to do with my side, same browser . . . same
large number of tabs open . . . OR whether something was adjusted on the
sending side?  I'll be back to Lu in a few days, to check if it's happening
just in Lubuntu . . . .
