= problem =
* We almost didn't find [
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/578633 RHBZ#578633 -
Unable to enter passphrase to unlock encrypted disk partitions]
* When re-using test results from a previous test run, it's possible to
include results for tests that should be re-tested. This would be bad.
= analysis =
* F-13 Beta candidate#3 didn't include the correct version of
''plymouth'' (see RHBZ #578633).
* Since it was Beta#3 and not much was supposed to change from Beta#2,
some test results from the previous Beta#2 candidate were carried forward.
* Thankfully, QA found the problem before release while running the
QA:Testcase_Anaconda_autopart_(encrypted)_install test.
= enhancement recommendation =
* Establish better guidelines about which test results can be carried
forward from one candidate to the next (this isn't easy). Or perhaps,
establish a subset of tests that all respins must undergo.
* Perhaps link to, or document at
