Hi folks, I'm learning the Debian BTS and control operations, and am trying to merge three RC bugs that relate to a common cause (#1031293, #1031443, #1031449).
It seems difficult to get the order of the 'affects' list to match in each of the bugs, seemingly a requirement for them to merge successfully - I've spent a little over an hour attempting various combinations of +, - and = operations using "Control: affects" headers to try to get a match. The latest error from BTS was: Unable to merge bugs because: affects of #1031293 is 'src:python-scrapy,src:python-zstandard,src:rpmlint,src:libzstd' not 'src:rpmlint,src:python-scrapy,src:python-zstandard,src:libzstd' Is it necessary to use a strict ordering check for the 'affects' field? And/or am I doing something stupid? (other than trying to help with bugs that aren't marked 'help', which I admit may be causing nuisance) Thanks, James
