Yes, this is because debian/changelog and reportbug/__init__.py needs to have the same version. I agree it's not the most beautiful way to have those in sync, but it's a working solution, that avoids upload with mismatched versions. > This isn't that serious since reportbug is Architecture: all.

Now, I'm a bit in trouble proposing a solution here, even because I'm not sure it's a bug :) Since arch:all binNMU are not allowed (as of now, at least) by our buildd, the way to simulate it is a NMU. And since you don't need to only schedule a simple rebuild, I don't see the problem in editing also reportbug/__init__.py . Moreover, I can't see why you would re-build reportbug on your machine and install it; if you do it to change something in the code (for example because you're so kind and want to prepare & send us a patch :) ), you can also edit __init__.py ; if you do it to bring in other versioned depends, we define none, only some versioned Suggests, so I still fail to understand the request itself. I hope I've clarified our situation, so if you want you can clarify better your position :) Cheers, -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
