The bug that is not on the pkg=libppd page is the one reported against libppd0. The other three are all reported against libppd.

Usually this isn't an issue, as source packages often build a binary package by the same name, I guess. Josh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
