I don't think a lack of dictionary checks would be a blocker bug, but the current behavior probably is. I don't see that we have enough time to do a proper fix for F18. What about the missing icons and those sorts of problems? Are they being caused by this same bug, and will they still be present if we go through with this? It seems to me like they would. > 3) File a bug against pwcheck so it is not calling exit() when the > dictionary is not present > - the fix might not be ready for F18 > - the same comments as for 2) > - we should do this anyways Agreed, it shouldn't be doing this anyway. - Chris _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
