Hello,

Version 5.0.0.0 on Max OSX gives me

Solve::ifun: 
   Inverse functions are being used by Solve
    , so some solutions may not be found; use Reduce
      for complete solution information. More\[Ellipsis]
Out[2]=
              r t
             E    k n0
{{n[t] -> ----------------}}
                    r t
          k - n0 + E    n0

I verified the solution.

The following expression used to work in v4:

DSolve[{n'[t] == r*n[t]*(1 - n[t]/k), n[0] == n0}, n[t], t]

In v5, I get the message

"DSolve::bvfail: For some branches of the general solution, unable to
solve the conditions." ...
