Ubuntu releasing beta software???

[Art Edwards]

The continuing frustration with feisty has led to this.

I received the following error

libpng12-0_1.2.15~beta5-1_i386.deb size mismatch

I then did a synaptic search on libpng and all packages in feisty, save
libpng3-dev have a "beta" in the name.

Does it seem at all prudent to "Release" a distribution with beta
software, especially something so basic as libpng???

If this arose because of a commitment to six month release intervals (no
matter what), I would suggest relaxing that goal in the interest of not
angering your user base.
