Use "send <bugnumber>" to get the transcript of a bug, which will tell you which package the bug is assigned to. See <http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-request> for other commands. You can also use the web interface at <http://bugs.debian.org/> to look up bug information. > And what about Bugs which are not more valid for years ? > > I have read Bug-Indexes to some Packages which I am interested > and found many open bugs which do not more exist, because the > upstreamversion of the <package> has changed several times with > correcting the Bugs, but they are not closed in Debian. If the bug report is no longer valid, it should be closed. You should send a message to the bug number, explaining why the bug should be closed (if this information is not already in the transcript). The bug will eventually be closed by its owner.
