Clearly, it's split the string according to the ',' that should of been in that string.
On a seperate note, may I also take this opportunity to say, that I've never in my life had so many problems with an Ubuntu upgrade. Not only did I have to do a completely fresh install due to the 'video card flashing' problems which just would not go away, not only have I spent the last 3 hours trying to make Truecrypt and Grub 2 work nicely, but on top of that, the image which people are downloading is not even the most up to date one, and contains bugs, bugs which do things like stopping my b43 wireless card from working.
I am absolutely disgusted with the lack of preparation and due care that this release has suffered, and it is quite disappointing since Ubuntu upgrades are usually such a seamless and care-free task. This release obviously has not had any adequate testing, and I'm sure I'll get a flaming from the developers and other users for these comments, but someone had to say it.
This bug is duplicate of Bug #430950, isn't?
