Re-closing the yakkety task since this does work on yakkety. For those trying to test on xenial, you'll need to wait for casper 1.376.2, still in the unapproved queue. xenial doesn't have security updates every day so testing the latest daily image often will not trigger this bug overnight. ** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu Yakkety) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
