Hi,
I have applied the patch to my installed system, set USETOR to "yes" and
generated a report plus submitted it today (it should have been
submitted a few times actually). I have attached the .gpg file. I used
the ".new" file because it seems that the popularity-contest.new.gpg is
not renamed to popularity-contest.gpg any longer.
Running the crontab with bash -x shows that it is never attempted[1]
and I see nothing in the patch that would affect that, so I assume it is
an unrelated issue.
Thanks,
~Niels
