Dear Eric, the right way is to close the bug with the correct version information, either by sending an email to the nnnnnn-d...@bugs.debian.org email with an appropriate pseudo-header, or by sending an email to cont...@bugs.debian.org, again with the version information. http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#closing http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#close Then, for the changelog I think that it is a matter of taste. I am not aware of one piece of our infrastructure that documents that amending changelogs would break it. In that particular case, I think that it will not hurt if the information is corrected. Have a nice day, -- Charles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
