tags #919922 confirmed upstream
severity #919922 important
thanks
Hi Sven,
thanks for spotting this. Strangely, this didn't happen on my test
box, but I can confirm this behavior for my workstation.
I am downgrading this to important though, since I consider the
statistics writing an auxillary feature, and I suspect that the issue
will fix itself next midnight.
What do you think, would it be an acceptable workaround to move the
current day file away in postinst and document that fact?
Greetings
Marc
