Comment 1 Joachim Backes 2005-12-08 13:36:14 UTC
Additionally, the target mail address is missing in the descripted evolution
command.

Comment 2 Christian Iseli 2007-01-20 01:00:51 UTC
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.

Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?

Thanks.

FC6 does not show the described behaviour. Report can be closed. 

Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2007-01-22 12:43:08 UTC
