 This is an automatic notification regarding your Bug report
 #640152: FTBFS: needs build-dep on automake,
 which was filed against the valgrind package.
 
 It has been marked as closed by one of the developers, namely
 Pierre Habouzit madco...@debian.org.
 
 You should be hearing from them with a substantive response shortly,
 in case you haven't already. If not, please contact them directly.

apart from close being deprecated: that's not how version tracking in
the BTS works. You need to state versions that actually exist(ed)
somewhere in the changelog. Otherwise it can't figure out where it got
fixed. (Like a bug being re-introduced in a maintainer upload that
didn't include a previous NMU, for instance.)

As far as I can see it's not even fixed in the archive yet, so it's
technically not even done.

Kind regards
Philipp Kern

It's a bug that isn't fixed by any package because it was a bogus
upload in experimental, that is fixed because the 3.7.0 has been
rerolled. It's transient, and doesn't warrant a Close in the 3.7.0
changelog that doesn't even come from the same git branch at all. It
made no sense. (when I rolled the snapshot tarball for experimental I
ran autoconf without the --copy flag and it had symlinks instead of
copies of the autocrap stuff).

I've closed this bug because it's just spurious, and never existed in
the unstable branches.

ok, if the new upload doesn't have the old experimental changelog in
it, it won't be affecting experimental anymore anyway and you could
indeed just close it, but…

 I've closed this bug because it's just spurious, and never existed in
 the unstable branches.

we're tracking more than unstable in the BTS, though.  So I would've
waited until a fixed package hits experimental, I guess.

Kind regards

the experimental package was a pre 3.7.0 release, which has been
released and uploaded to unstable, the experimental package will go away
and I don't plan any experimental upload for a long time.

But okay, next time I'll close from the changelog, I thought it made
more sense, it wasn't a lapse, I made it on purpose to avoid cluttering
the changelog with orthogonal stuff :)
