Updates are pushed to -proposed first for testing to make sure that they actually work. After the packages in -proposed have been verified to work using the test case, the bug is marked "verification-done" and the package is copied to -updates. Otherwise it's just deleted from -proposed. Perhaps what's needed is to make the instructions in the wiki page more verbose to mention that all the binary packages from the source package (apt-cache showsrc $pkg | grep Binary) need to be updated together before running the test case. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin -- pidgin does not connect to msn, certificate error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/676972 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
