Hello Ross, thanks for your Bug report.

Please confirm that you are able to reproduce the bug. Also make sure, that no other search is active (all active searches should be displayed on the top left pane, but to make sure just shuffle through the tabs on the top right pane too). > Could the fact that I have several versions in my sources.list > (testing, unstable) have anything to do with this? Hmm, it is hard to say, but the routines I use for searching are mostly taken from the apt-cache utility, so I doubt it somehow, but I will try to figure out if apt-cache does something different to support distribution mixes. > As a probably unrelated issue, I'll note that when I did an update I > got a huge number of messages like the following: > > Removing tag media not found in vocabulary (package adabrowse) > Removing tag devel not found in vocabulary (package adacgi) > Removing package addresses-framework not found in APT database > Removing package addresses-goodies not found in APT database This is an issue with the debtags database and no problem. It does only mean that 1. there are tags used on packages that are no longer available, and 2. that there are packages in the debtags database and are not available in the apt database. The latter packages are removed, because this hints that they left debian and the debtags database failed to be up to date. As this is mainly debug information I will ask Enrico (who is responsible for debtags) to make this information available through a verbose option. > I'm not sure what it means, but I suspect it makes the tags searching > less useful. There should be not much impact on the debtags search. Nevertheless the tagging is still quite incomplete, so the result from the debtags search might be not perfect. But we are working hard to make debtags popular wich will result in much better tagging. Greetings Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
