This was sent over the announcements list by Adam Conrad earlier this morning (my time). I don't have the link to the one on the general announcements list, but it also went over the security announce list, and that message is here for your review: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2016-July/003492.html > >> I doubt you're going to get any traction on this > Well, that doesn't mean that it makes sense to keep the status as "fix > released" when it is not fixed. > > I would change it myself but Launchpad doesn't let normal users change bug > status when it is "fix released" (which is stupid, given that we do can > change it _to_ "fix released") > > (<remainder of original message snipped>) The reason it's marked "Fix Released" is because a package was released to the repository from the proposed repository which had the bug referenced in the changelog as addressing the issue, and in turn when it was released, it closed the bug. That's an automatic process, and the automatic system isn't as smart as you or I. That being said, while we (any bug control member) could go and change the bug back to "Triaged" or "Confirmed" and poke that it never fixed it, I am not sure that this would get 'fixed' before then (note: I'm not intimately familiar with the package so I can't state that with any real authority). And if it is not, then it would get marked "Won't Fix" when someone goes through and does post-EOL-release cleanup. Given that it is possible it wouldn't get fixed, because Wily goes end of life in three weeks time, I would let this one go, and prepare your environments for upgrading to Xenial when Wily dies on the 28th. ------ Thomas Ward Launchpad: ~teward -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
