That could be done, though I think a bug should always be assigned to at least one currently existing package. So perhaps the notification should be something like this: IF bug is assigned to at least one currently existing package and all packages assigned existed at some point THEN do nothing ELSE bug tbm However, in this case, there never was a binary package openldap2.3; in etch, the source package was openldap2.3 which also built the openldap binary package, so assigning it to only the openldap binary package should be perfectly fine, and doesn't lose history. [If you wanted to have it specifically assigned to both, then it should be assigned to src:openldap2.3 and src:openldap... but I don't really see the point.] Don Armstrong -- It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. -- Frederick Douglass http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
