Well, the severity of a bug is not depending on how long it has been broken, or what other suites it is broken in, or if only one person ever reported it. The important severity has this definition: important a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone. I would say that this bug has a major effect on the usability, as it crashed my guest, but it is not completely unsable to everyone as many people do not attempt this. micah -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
