And you're wrong too. It is common practice to close bugs when the fix has 
been uploaded, which is exactly what Christian did.

Is this going to be your next game?

CC'ing the BTS admins as this is a second example of BTS abuse in the last 
few weeks. And there was at least one other recent example of BTS 
pingpong from you on #426262.

And no, a smiley does not make this a joke or reduce the seriousness of 
your abuse. You're only annoying maintainers and wasting people's time.
You're also shooting yourself in the foot because behavior like this is 
hardly likely to want maintainers to work on your issues.

Upload of package accepted [1]: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 07:02:01 +
Closure of the bug [2]: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 08:44:16 +0200

Actions were coordinated on #d-boot. IMO the times are close enough (18 
min. difference) to justify my statement that the bug was closed together 
with the upload of the package fixing the problem, as was indicated by 
Christian in his reply closing the report.

Reason the build errors still occur for powerpc is that the upload was 
done for amd64 and the powerpc buildd took more than a day to pick it up. 
For powerpc, the package should get hit the mirrors with the mirror pulse 
running $NOW.

As someone who has been intimately involved with Debian for so long, one 
would expect mr. Luther to know how these things work...

[random completely unrelated other complaints snipped]

2007-07-01 Thread Don Armstrong

This bug's state is now set correctly, and the underlying question of
whether the bug was actually fixed or not has been resolved.

If you must respond to each other about items unrelated to the status
of this bug, please do so privately or using other channels, not via
the BTS.
