Hi, As part of my effort to clean up dselect's BTS entries so we can better see just how good (or bad, depending on your perspective) shape dselect is in it has become apparent the seven oldest Normal, Unclassified, Outstanding reports:
#6039, #7056, #7181, #8340, #10520, #11800, #12667 [see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=dselect] are all a consequence of dselect's native Access methods doing some variation of "dpkg -iGROEB", which was first reported as the wishlist item #4448. I can understand why the seven have been left as Normal severity bugs even though they are really feature requests[1]... but since APT has come along and become the recommended higher level package management tool, dselect is able to oversee a somewhat smarter upgrade process and the simple approach used by its native access methods is much less consequential. Because of this I would like to "forcemerge" any Normal severity reports with the oldest Wishlist report. While such an action does nothing to decrease dselect's overall bug count, it does better reflect the reality of the situation. Does anyone object to downgrading these reports to Wishlist? - Bruce [1] If dselect tried and failed to order an upgrade they would be bugs, but since it doesn't even try they are, technically, wishlist items. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
