[Bug 1670537] Re: Hardware Lister Start Error

[KitchM]

Thanks for your help, Brian.

To whom it may concern, I tried the link in the automatic message and it
does not work.  (I wish people would check these before they send them
out.)

The message also states "add the package name in the text box next to
the word Package" but I can't find such a thing either.  What is going
on here?  I, for one, would like to see Canonical management get these
things working correctly.  Users are continually left in the dark.
