Newer versions of apport (the Ubuntu bug reporting application) add a release tag to bug reports starting with Lucid Lynx 10.04 as far as I know. You'll find these reports tagged with 'lucid'. Older 'karmic' 'jaunty' etc. tags can be added by bug reporters and triagers to make searching

Hello, After an upgrade of my dual core AMD 4050e machine to Karmic, the second core is no longer seen (/proc/cpuinfo shows only one CPU). I have never seen this issue with Jaunty. Is this a known issue? Should I report it? To which package? Any idea how I could get back my second core?

Yes, yes, yes. I fully agree. Currently I use an anacron job running rdiff-backup, but this is CLEARLY not right for non-techie users. I stopped using Simple Backup ages ago... it was really deficient. For one thing, its incremental backups had to be restored like so: 1) restore last full backup
