perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Antoine Delvaux <>]

Hi George,

Your problem seems to be specific to Ubuntu upgrades from 3.5 to 3.5.1.

Have you seen my other message on the list?  Try to do an 'apt-get update' 
and 'apt-get upgrade' again, we have released new packages correcting these 
bugs, hopefully, this morning.

Thanks,

Antoine.
