Pardon me!

We have enough work >with "indisputable" bugs and I suggest to let "dubious" bugs live. That's a valid POV. I am happy to close the bug. But I'd like to hear from <debian-testing> folks. Because if the consensus is that xdm should not be installed for the standard profiles, I don't think it's too late to fix this. Here's the current master entries: [M68K: xdm: Tasks: Admin, C, Chinese, Database, Debian, Devel, Dialup, Doc, Fortran, Games, Graphics, Gui_devel, Lisp, Net_comp, Net_sel, Netadm, Newbie, News, Perl_devel, Plot, Prod, Python, Scheme, Science, Sgml, Sound, Standard, Tcl_devel, Tex, Web, Workst, X_comp, X_sel, Profiles: Admin, Devel_comp, Devel_std, Dialup, Server_comp, Server_std, Standard, Work_sci, Work_std, :M68K] [NOT_M68K: xdm: Tasks: Games, Graphics, X_comp, X_sel, Profiles: Admin, Devel_comp, Devel_std, Dialup, Work_sci, Work_std, :NOT_M68K] As you can see, xdm is associated with a *lot* of the tasks and profiles. This is what I have a problem with. -- .....A. P. [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
