I'm unsure what you're referring to. I responded to the bug report, and pointed out what the expected behavior was. Keep in mind that no one responded to my comment about the issue which I noticed and fixed. > leave the bug open, even if you consider it invalid. Feel free to tag > it wontfix, though. "wontfix" is unsuitable, because (a) the report was based on invalid assumptions, and (b) the report got me to look at it carefully and see something which should be fixed. By marking it "wontfix", I expect that nothing has been resolved on Debian's side. -- Thomas E. Dickey <[email protected]> https://invisible-island.net
