Comment 3 Marja Van Waes 2012-05-12 10:06:10 CEST
Trying to ping 41 bug reports in one move, because nothing has happened with them for more than 3 months, they still have the status NEW or REOPENED, there is no "OK" on the Whiteboard and severity and priority are "normal" or higher.

Is this one still valid for Mageia 2 rc?

If it is and you're the assignee, please set status to ASSIGNED if you think this bug was assigned correctly. If for work flow reasons you can't do that, then please put OK on the whiteboard instead.
If it wasn't assigned correctly, please assign back to Bug Squad and explain.

Other than link change, it shows up after a clean Mageia-2-rc-x86_64-DVD.iso + updates + fglrx + urpme --auto-orphans 

#  symlinks -r / | grep dangling "snippet"

dangling: /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.961-1.mga2.nonfree/build/fglrx.ko -> 2.6.x/fglrx.ko

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,

Yep, I see the fglrx.ko dangling link on every new kernel install.
