Actually, whenever the given version is between two versions
the bugreport is marked as found in, the bugreport is wrongly
ignored.
I was about to report that this exact behaviour does *not* happen (and I am still not sure how you
got it).
Did you try to issue the commands I provided as examples, getting
different results? I still get substantially the same results (bug
#468926 is ignored in the first apt-listbugs invocation, but not in the second
one: it should not be ignored in either one).
Sorry, no, not those.
Rationale: when apt-listbugs is called from apt, a bug which already affects my version shouldn't
stop me from upgrading since that would always keep me in place
This is true, but unrelated.
I thought it was related on the grounds exposed in my previous mail. Anyway...
When I use the apt-listbugs list command, I want to know which bugs
affect a package or a given version of a package, regardless of
which version of that package I have installed on my system (if at
all!).
OK.
I think the fix should be the addition of an option "--newsince $PACK/$VER" which should instruct
apt-listbugs to show *only* the bugs which are present in the given version, but were not present in
$VER.
Some way to make apt-listbugs ignore bugs that affect package/version,
but are already present in package/installedversion, can really be
useful, but should be filed as a separate wishlist bug, IMHO.
Cloned.
