Weird problem with system states

jimp

Can you try to recreate the problem without any packages installed?

I'm curious to know if it happens on a stock system without any additions.

Also, the bug reporting system is in the process of being moved to here:

OK, nevermind, I can reproduce this now.

Talked to another dev and he says it is likely from the recent (June 11th) patch for fixing multi-wan sticky connections and there is another patch to merge, but there is more testing to do first.

So it should be fixed before too long, and if you roll back to a snap before June 11th you should be OK for now.

Upgrade to a snapshot more recent than this post and it should start to behave ok.

Same problem.

That snapshot is from early this morning, a new one has not yet been made.

I'll wait for 1 more update. If it doesn't get fixed, I'll roll back. Thx all for the answers.

@jimp: Yes, I know. I've tryed it now just to see if it was already fixed. ;)

Thanks for the info - I have been on Jun 11 17:41:59 EDT 2009 as a workaround.

small matter: the updater informs the latest version as "Sun Jun 14 05:33:50 EDT 2009" yet it is in fact a build from 00:15:xx or so. Why the mismatch in the version file?

Probably a mismatch of time zones, GMT vs. local time.

Ah yes, of course. Devs might fix that, though it is trivial.

I was having the problem with states during the week.

I've updated to:

1.2.3-RC2
built on Sun Jun 14 18:15:10 EDT 2009

and it looks like it's fixed now.

With the latest snap my test box also appears to be normal. I haven't reflashed my embedded box yet, the new snap just appeared for that a couple minutes ago.

Hugovsky

Just updated. I'll post the results asap.

The problem seems gone. I have now 98 states. Thx for fixing it. ;)

jimp

My states are also back to normal on my embedded box.

Thank ermal for fixing it, he's the one who put the patch in that corrected it :)
