I have a pretty good understanding of this issue (well, the issue fixed by my patch). It was introduced by a patch pulled in from CVS. However, that particular patch was flawed and makes smbspool segfault upon startup. The "linux2go" patch fixes that particular issue. I believe that any remaining segfaults are symptoms of a different issue.
I don't have the black belt in bug management and QA, etc., but I think I see your point. However, I think the best - although not strictly by the almighty book of QA procedures - way to go about this is to maybe change the description of this bug to match the issue fixed by my patch. However, you're the expert and I'm really a lot more interested in fixing bugs than managing bugs. :-) -- cups smb printing backend no longer works https://launchpad.net/bugs/39484 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
