Let's quickly outline what's happened here: 1) Luke files a bug agains Debian. So far, so good. 2) Some time later, Luke contacts a KDE developer and asks if the bug has been fixed. 3) The response is, approximately, "This is the first I've heard of it". We (Debian) have a bug tracking system in order to keep track of bugs in our distribution. It's the job of either the bug submitter or (more usually) the Debian maintainer to contact upstream to make sure that they're aware of the bug. It is *not* the upstream maintainer's job to examine Debian's bug database. Which is, uh, pretty much what Dirk said. Luke, what the christ are you upset about? Nobody's said "Don't report this bug to us", they've said "If you report a bug to Debian and nobody forwards it, we know nothing about it". -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
