Because otherwise architecture-only uploads are going to try either close already closed bugs or, worse, close reopened bugs. e.g. Package foo 1.1-2 is released as (source i386) and it closes bug #19000. The reporter of #19000 doesn't feel the bug has been dealt with and reopens the bug. I come along and recompile foo 1.1-2 for m68k and upload it. If non-source uploads automagically close bugs, #19000 gets closed again. This is obviously Bad. > Does this mean that bugs closed with non-source uploads have to > closed "by hand" or that they can't be closed at all? By hand. -- James
