use evidence-0.9.7.20040501
Exactly the same error happens with version 0.9.7.20040501...
dare i ask if 0.9.8.20040710 worked ?
I am sorry but I can not tell since my main box died a couple of weeks ago. I am now using my old laptop (p2 266) until I can afford a new mobo and cpu. It will be an athlon64 on which I will probably not be able to keep my old installation so I will have to reinstall from scratch. I think we should just close this bug and if ever I face it again I will reopen the bug. I am not closing it by myself since I do not know what I should put as the resolution. Thanks for your time!
sorry to hear :/
