Package: reportbug Version: 4.12.6 Severity: normal I attempted to file a removal bug against ftp.debian.org for a package in testing for a particular architecture (ANAIS) and reportbug told me to mail debian-release instead. However, debian-release can't handle partial removals from testing:
| britney doesn't support partial removals from testing (they generally | wouldn't help anyway as e.g. out-of-date checks are relative to | unstable, not testing); this is generally achieved by ftp-master | removing the old binary from unstable and the effect automagically | propagating to testing. I think reportbug should recommend filing the bug against unstable instead, or say that the removal will propagate from unstable if it's already been removed there. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="vi" VISUAL="vi" DEBEMAIL="r...@debian.org" INTERFACE="text" ** /home/eagle/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "2.10.1" mode standard ui text realname "Russ Allbery" email "r...@debian.org" -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 0.8.0 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii python 2.6.5-13 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-reportbug 4.12.6 Python modules for interacting wit reportbug recommends no packages.
