Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-6 Severity: normal
The bug db related to aptitude is filling up with bug reports that have become irrelevant, either because of updates, or because they are duplicates. because of this people (myself included) who want to report new bugs get the impression the package is not maintained anymore. I have this usability bug to report, but when searching the DB to see if it had already been reported, I see many bug that look so much alike that they just must be the same problem (e.g. look for bugs related to holding a package). I realise programming is much more fun than doing the administrative work. But surely cleaning up is part of the maintainer's job. Sorry, I did not mean to be ungratefull, I really do appreciate the great work all maintainers are doing, and this includes you. Keep up the good work, but do clean up. Thanks, Ernest ter Kuile. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.1 0.6.41 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.1-9 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-1.2-5c2 1.2.5-5 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.0.1-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: pn aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-do <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
