My point was that package problems will not be fixed unless the 
maintainer knows about them. Sorry, I was unhappy this morning 
to discover problems with db3/db4 that hadn't been copied to me, 
I recently often just mark fink-users and fink-beginners as read 
without even looking at them if I have too many e-mails to deal 
with. This morning I scanned the subject lines first.

There are also some maintainers who do not even subscribe to the 
users or beginners lists, how can they fix problems reported 
only here?
