If you are going to file a bug ***on a package in Ubuntu*** then it's preferred that you use apport or ubuntu-bug. The Ubuntu platform team strongly prefer it, since it guarantees a certain minimal amount of information in the bug report and can help prevent duplicates. If you are filing a bug on a regular software project hosted on Launchpad, then just use the webapp, following any instructions that the project maintainers have put there. jml _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
