You don't understand. The reason I'm closing this report is not that the prebuilt nvidia 96xx packages are available in sid, but that your report is invalid. There is no bug as your report describes.
If you'd decide to reopen this report, you should defend its validity.
i have continued to defend the validity. the bug is obvious. the package is uninstallable. this is considered a show stopping / release critical bug. i will now use the guidance of the "Developers' information regarding the bug processing system" document at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#closing to logically reason why this bug must be kept open and why *you* do not have the authority to close it: Debian bug reports should be closed when the problem is fixed. Problems in packages can only be considered fixed once a package that includes the bug fix enters the Debian archive. the fix has not entered the archive, so the bug should not be closed. also from the next paragraph: Normally, the only people that should close a bug report are the submitter of the bug and the maintainer(s) of the package against which the bug is filed. There are exceptions to this rule, for example, the bugs filed against unknown packages or certain generic pseudo-packages. When in doubt, don't close bugs, first ask for advice on the debian-devel mailing list. you are neither the bug submitter nor the maintainer, so you do not have the authority to close the bug. you are not even a debian developer... and finally, "[w]hen in doubt, don't close bugs...." there is doubt. if you want to close this bug again, *you* need to justify why the above debian document is invalid. stop overstepping your authority. mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
