Be sure to prepare an upload for testing-proposed-updates if you want to add the patch to lenny and the release team are likely to approve the patch, since your package is not in sync between lenny & sid. > 2) should I open a similar Debian bug for this in the normal way, or > just respond to the Ubuntu bug, or some other course of action?

If you want to, you can close the launchpad bug in your changelog like this: * fixes segfault (LP: #12345) Once the package is synced to Ubuntu, the launchpad bug will be closed. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
