I think you are going about this in an inefficient way. Your stated aim is > It has been suggested that I could be useful by testing older bugs to see if > they could be closed -- i.e. a fix for another problem or a general upgrade > has fixed the problem. I'd suggest you choose a package or two which you use and have some reasonable familiarity with. To tackle all open bugs is a gigantic task. Testing open bugs in a package you triage is enough for anyone. A list, one line per bug, of open bugs for a package is on the package page. You know what they say about molehills. -- Brian.
