So basically I have to install the FC2 package and there won't be an
update for FC1? The Fedora website says "updates for Fedora Core 1 will
be provided for two to three months after the release of Fedora Core 2".
Is this update not considered critical or is it that they already
stopped updating FC1? I know it's not a bug that the packager or even
the Samba team is responsible for but it breaks some functionality in
the program. What I'd like to know is if these kind of bugs are not
considered critical since it's not a security issue or anything like
that and if I should expect that bugs like this won't get fixed in
current releases of Fedora or in releases that haven't reach end of life
yet.
