Dear debbugs maintainers,
I spent half an hour before understanding that the bug I was trying to
usertag was "not found" by the BTS because it was archived. This is
difficult to figure out, because other archived bugs are found without a
problem.
I found this bug report, and I agree with Helge that it would be helpful
to change the error message. In the sources of debbugs (apt-get source
debbugs), I could not figure out wether it was debbugs-service or
scripts/service.in which has to be modified, so I prepared a patch for
each of them.
I hope it can help to solve this problem.
Have a nice day,
