It was a combination of changing the subject plus cc'ing bug-automake. bug-automake is basically an alias for sub...@debbugs now. Anything sent there that is not "obviously" replying to an existing report creates a new bug. There is no need to cc bug-automake on replies to reports; #...@debbugs can be thought of as an alias for that. The only time to use the bug-automake address now is in new bug reports. Sending to both just creates duplicates. > The commands above (Bcc:ed to control at debbugs) should merge and > close both bugs. The (first) close didn't work, I think it was because your version number started with a `v', not a digit. The second close worked.
