Package: debbugs Severity: wishlist Many times a bug in one package causes symptoms to appear in another package. Reassigning the bug to the actual buggy package causes it to disappear from the list of open bugs for the affected package, so frequently duplicates get submitted (and reassigned, and merged, lather, rinse, repeat). Leaving a bug open in the affected package means that it is not closed automaticly when the bug is fixed.
My proposal is to have "affects <list of packages>" associated with the bug, and when displaying lists of bugs on a package show "this package is affected by the following bugs in other packages". -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html With Microsoft, failure is not an option.
