You are probably right about the word "incompetent" but the same applies to the word "invalid".
It conveys the primary message "you got it wrong" or "it's not a bug" when the fact is "it's a bug filed against the wrong packages" But whether or not the bug belongs with the rdeps depends on what the outcome of the analysis actually is: It's impossible to know which are the right packages unless one is privy to the packaging decisions of the next release; i.e. one knows that: 1. libmpcdec3 is being dropped and rdeps being rebuilt instead of 2. libmpcdec3 being kept because of irreconcilable rdeps. and that the plan might change after the bug report is considered. Which of 1 or 2 is finally followed and therefore where the bug should have really been filed depends on the analysis of the bug report. If 2 was followed (which is reasonable if vlc could not have used the newer library then the bug would not have been invalid). "invalid" is an emotionally charged word; and it doesn't help if there is now way the filer can know how the bug should be filed. I don't know if the bug there is with launchpad or ubuntu policy. I feel better now I've said that. -- Package libmpcdec3 is missing from maverick repos https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610856 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
