Description genbug 2006-02-20 01:46:13 UTC

I just found that the coreutils version I have already installed has been masked

I went to gentoo CVS to see if there was a comment to determine whether I needed to downgrade this package.

I found:
>>Make sure $WORKDIR is go-w before giving everyone read 
>>access #122951 by Joshua Pettett.

Looks harmless enough so I thought I'd have a look at the bug and see what merited it being masked, it's presumably important.

I entered the bug number and got a lockout !!

>>You are not authorized to access bug #122951.

Why should any bugs be hidden? This seems most odd.

thanks.
