EFA-3.0.0.9 

I'd modified the file before. Removing the ending space, save, make a space again and save. Now this mail at the top.
Anyone having the same mail/error?

Is the file format still correct in ASCII text format? :

Code: Select all

# file /etc/EFA-Version 
/etc/EFA-Version: ASCII text

[DaN]

Code: Select all

file /etc/EFA-Version
/etc/EFA-Version: ASCII text, with no line terminators

edited with nano, removed a line break, saved it:

Code: Select all

file /etc/EFA-Version
/etc/EFA-Version: ASCII text

ok, i'll wait

thx
