Package: qa.debian.org Severity: wishlist Hi,
There are a number of cases where the Debian Bug Tracker can become "confused" or (to many) behave surprisingly. The most common example is when a bug in marked as "found" and "fixed" in the same version. In this case, the BTS silent accepts the values but ignores the "fixed" version and counts the bug as "unfixed" in that version. Accordingly, the bug will still count until either the "found" version or the "fixed" version is removed[1]. I think it would be nice if we had some easy way to get a list of all bugs where the BTS is (possibly) "confused", so we can easily resolve those problems. As mentioned, one type of problem like this is when a bug has a fixed version equal to a found version. A second type of issue is the use of "binNMU" versions in fixed or found versions; I am pretty sure the BTS does not know of binNMUs, but I have seen people use it in the past. Thank you in advance, ~Niels [1] It is possible that the BTS behaves sensible if you mark a later version "fixed" as well. Haven't tried. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
