Hi,

>It doesn't look closed to me.


Indeed, the bug was pending and then excluded from the list in BTS
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=doona&archive=no&pend-exc=pending-fixed&pend-exc=fixed&pend-exc=done&sev-inc=critical&sev-inc=grave&sev-inc=serious&repeatmerged=no

this is why I didn't see it.

thanks!

G.

It doesn't look closed to me.

The uses 'Closes:' with a colon to close bugs is required by Policy
(section 4.4).

useless lintian error?

2016-09-28 Thread Gianfranco Costamagna
Hi mentors,
I did a doona upload, with "closes #foo" in changelog, getting
a lintian error:


E possible-missing-colon-in-closes
closes #838630


since the bug is closed, because the system closes bugs even without the colon,
isn't this time to drop that error?

I'm not sure why something that works might need fixing...
thanks,

G.
