hi
I have noticed a messy situation in BTS, regarding my source package libppd (*)
my source package has this web page in BTS http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libppd where you see there are 4 bugs listed (resolved)
but then there is this web page http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=libppd
this page is meaningless : it presents itself as the BTS page for the binary package 'libppd' but there is no such binary package
indeed I see errors in this latter webpage: -) it lists 3 bugs and not 4 -) where it says ``refer to the libppd package page'' there is an useless link http://packages.debian.org/libppd
what is the meaning of this latter web page?
how come some bugs (such as the FTBFS bug) are appended to this page? and some other bugs are not?
(this is the gravest fact of all: people checking http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=libppd would fail to see bugs on their source packages)
a.
(*) ps: currently
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=snmpkit
and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=snmpkit
show identical lists;
I had not time to investigate how many other packages
suffer from the same situation;
if someone reads this e-mail and knows of a source package that has no binary package by the same name, please check it
