I think you have misunderstood the word there: work-around : a plan or method to circumvent a problem (as in computer software) _without_ eliminating it . <http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/work-around> Nothing gets fixed, not even locally, workaround is something we can do to avoid the bug. -- Cheers, Vish _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
