I don't think it happens with the LiveCD, and I don't have one at the moment. This could easily be due to some old misconfiguration, but newer versions of packages should've fixed it anyway. I've updated my packages several times a week for the last 4 months. Note; it doesn't bother me whatsoever, but _it is a bug_, hence i posted it.
