Sigh... that's another absurd failling in debian bts that requires constant workarounds... added to my list. > And I would appreciate if you would stop reopening bug reports for > packages you don't maintain. The entire community would appreciate it if you would stop closing valid, or likely valid bug reports without a good explanation. The only thing you have suggested thus far ( after closing the bug several times ) that is even a possible candidate for a legitimate reason to do so is the use of policykit-1 from experimental with an otherwise sid based system. Until this has been confirmed, or unless it is a known error that you can be reasonably confident is the case, and you clearly describe that is what the user has done wrong, it is inappropriate to dismissively close the bug report out of hand. That said, I have managed to test your hypothesis and confirmed that indeed, this does result from doing what you suggest, and that is why I will no longer reopen this bug report. It is now up to Shirish to deny that he did install policykit-1 from experimental on an otherwise unstable/testing system and if not, reopen the bug. Coming to this conclusion should not have taken several rounds of closing and reopening the bug, but rather is something you should have clearly spelled out when closing the bug in the first place so that Shrish could have simply said "oh yea, my bad" and let the matter rest, rather than contacting me privately wondering why his report had been summarily dismissed. Please bear this in mind when closing bug reports in the future so that such confusion can be avoided. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJWe28EAAoJEBB5UWFcu6UWeqoH+wYdRutwix8qyiGEpLf25iSF CllrkhLQ6q2LoUoomIQ4b04CQmHKC/g2D8qnRPnDnh4dzLZYcDdyqTSTTisxMJxW UfEY0reTO22GhbqQwGABgzpSL6LJ8p17kNldJIs9j0As4CVajs155LxCAnOW/ddw B2DzPGJ0INThIVAGESxlqJzc+5r1XyGdZT0CM++DDGG1rVGlxWs4O2RDNb38NQyQ aniSJ/PTSvUUXJu8ejHUo+hwm42PeqjvVIVzsGaXGrIovU+t590g3+49IAf+788f WKf0wG6IkbBrtxGI4fOMLZwitX1NqmgPRCPHVaHLIS3ESQzGxraUgXivQD+3UTc= =CGXU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
