Im using Irish English and it isnt an error so it might be that its just a problem with Canadian English. Do you know anyone who can confirm the error?

funny. Its not really a major problem though but it would make new users a little sceptical about how professional an OS Ubuntu is

My thoughts exactly. But to be honest, not supporting MP3 in a fresh install
is by far the worst thing for new users.

I can confirm the problem, and I found where it is.

The missing space is in the file "gsynaptic.cc" on line 370 and 371.

Hi everyone.

I can also confirm the problem. I'm not sure if it has been fixed, but after running Update Manager and restarting the system, it's still there. While it doesn't affect usability, it makes Ubuntu look bad to new users.
