I have chosen to install the packages despite the bugs _this time_ and _for now_ (see further below). I do manually ignore bugs like "should not move to testing", "FTBS on $architecture", etc. that are clearly do not affect me functionality wise and put packages on hold for those bugs that clearly do, e.g. "renders system unusable" or some broken functionality I do need. If a bug is of neither type, or was not reproducible by the maintainer, I usually do go ahead to see myself whether it happens/I find a workaround. (If I still do see such a bug the next update that I remember seeing before, but did not affect me, I ignore it, too. The fact that this did happen despite the intended behaviour being different must've been bugs then ;o). If such a bug then does affects me bad enough to make me downgrade again, I still want to be shown that bugreport the _next time_ I upgrade, so that I remember and hold the package at that point (or not, if its fixed meanwhile). Also, apt-listchanges, which runs after apt-listbugs, might present to me things in the NEWS (like incompatibility with other installations) that make me actually hold some package back for which I choose to try the upgrade despite some bug(s) _for now_. By the time the reason that made me hold the package back is gone, I'll have forgotten the bug(s) and run into it unprepared unless apt-listbugs warns me again. I furthermore wonder, if this is the intented behaviour, what exactly is the point of the manual ignore? Your use cases and procedures seem to be different from mine, so how about turning this into a wishlist item to add a configuration setting allowing to turn the auto ignore off? elmar -- .'"`. /"\ | :' : Elmar Hoffmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / `. `' GPG key available via pgp.net against HTML email X `- & vCards / \ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
