Scott I am sorry but my brother in law do have this problem and I did the install when I gave him the laptop and I KNOW that I just did a basic installation of hardy. After he did, before asking me or I would have stop him, did the upgrade to intrepid (he doesn't know anything about OS so he didn't touch anything) and after I did the last upgrade and I didn't have this message but even if would have it I always ask to install the maintener versions. So your two reasons which basically said that the user is the only responsible of this problem and that ubuntu doesn't have any responsabilities is a little bit exagerated for my point of view. I cannot access through ssh to this computer anymore, thanks to this bug, so my brother in law which live 3000 km away from me will have a risky computer for months (no possibility to install any upgrade). He is not able to do anything in the system and he is scared to messed up things.
