In your instructions, I do not understand the following terms: “reassign” “add an affects on src:stimfit” “visible in the BTS web page”
Those are terms used when dealing with the Debian bug system. The full explanation may be found here: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control Before reporting that stimfit does not build from source, I look here to be sure that nobody reported it before: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=stimfit If the real bug is not in stimfit, but instead in one of the build-depends, the right thing to do would be to reassign the bug to the package actually making stimfit not to build ok. However, the reassign operation makes the bug to disappear from the above web page, and I would not find it if I were looking for duplicates. The "affects" operation tells the Debian bug system that a bug in one package really affects another package, and the outcome is that the bug is still shown in the web page for the affected package. Thanks.
