That's unfortunate. Without being able to query the BTS, how am I to avoid duplicate reports unless I check the Web site first? How can I do a followup to an existing report through reportbug? The package I was checking is flashplugin-nonfree which I found later is Devuan bug #69. Without an update from upstream Debian, it will be up to us to provide a patch and a package that tracks the current Flash version, if possible. (Yes, I generally abhor Flash, but others in the family need it for sites I don't visit). - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
