Indeed, it did. I also fixed a few other bugs with exactly the same
problem, but there's another class of bugs with problems. Let's take
this warning for example:
Bug 329203: unable to open /org/bugs.debian.org/versions/pkg/u/udhcpc:
No such file or directory at
/org/udd.debian.net/mirrors/bugs.debian.org/perl/Debbugs/Status.pm line
1150.
According to /org/bugs.d.o/etc/indices/sources, the udhcpc binary
package should map to udhcp source package. Also, there's a
/org/bugs.d.o/versions/pkg/u/udhcp file.
Bug 329203's summary file contains:
Format-Version: 2
Found-In: udhcpc/0.9.8cvs20050124-3
Subject: udhcpc triggers the non existing command
/etc/udhcpc/default.leasefail
Date: 1127216889
Submitter: Sebastien Blondeel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Package: udhcpc
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Severity: important
Which sounds fine. So why is the BTS trying to open (and complain about)
the wrong file?
Apparently, this case is much more frequent that the former.
