Sorry about the repeat and thanks for the note and memory refresh -- obviously
not one of my better bugs!
Inexcusable as it is, some questions, the better to understand how this screw
up occurred:
1) Before I look for typos, I've been scanning the BTS with 'querybts -w
<packagename>', for prior or similar bugs, but I only check for open
bugs. Sometimes when a package is defunct, the top of the web page says
so, something like "please don't send any more bugs". At present
'gtkgraph's BTS page here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=gtkgraph&archive=no&repeatmerged=yes&show_list_header=no&show_list_footer=no
...starts this way:
Debian Bug report logs: package gtkgraph
Maintainer for gtkgraph is tony mancill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
You might like to refer to the gtkgraph package page, to the Package
Tracking System, or to the archived reports for gtkgraph.
If you find a bug not listed here, please report it.
...so something's wrong there, the page could have warned me. An
invititation like "please report it" is a bit misleading.
2) Why'd ya close it instead of tagging it 'wontfix' -- I'd have noticed
that, and so would other users.
Well, thanks again for the advice, and apologies for the needless repeat report
-- because of which, I'll be adding some logging code to my typo-finder
soon in hopes of preventing this sort of error.
