By closing the bug report it disappeared from https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/opencv There is no "action required" bullet point and the RC bug count is zero now. The bug is also marked as resolved now. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=opencv I know the BTS but it was completely sufficient to mark the bug as fixed in experimental, you didn't have to close it. People usually don't look up the BTS graph to understand if their version is affected and they will check the most obvious places first. If bugs are getting closed in stable and oldstable, then those have been fixed in nearly all cases in unstable as well already. Markus
