Package: gnome-keyring Version: 3.2.2-1 Followup-For: Bug #649408 severity 649408 important thanks
I chose to raise the severity to "important", according to the list reportbug gives me (see below). This bug's major effect on the usability of packages that rely on it are that it *breaks* them: aqbanking-tools (this bug report) mozilla pop3 client (this bug report) ssmtp (#650334) sendmail using programs (#652104) Browsing through the aqbanking-tools (sub)dependencies, there doesn't seem to be a dependency on gnome-keyring, so I could call aqbanking-tools "unrelated", which makes it even eligible for raising the severity to "critical", which would also more precisely reflect my feelings in this case ("YOU BROKE MY ONLINE BANKING !!!111one"). (For now,) I leave that decision to someone who doesn't have access to an axe. ---------------------------- snip ------------------------- 1 critical makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on systems where you install the package. 2 grave makes the package in question unusable by most or all users, or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts of users who use the package. 3 serious is a severe violation of Debian policy (that is, the problem is a violation of a 'must' or 'required' directive); may or may not affect the usability of the package. Note that non- severe policy violations may be 'normal,' 'minor,' or 'wishlist' bugs. (Package maintainers may also designate other bugs as 'serious' and thus release-critical; however, end users should not do so.). For the canonical list of issues worthing a serious severity you can refer to this webpage: http://release.debian.org/wheezy/rc_policy.txt . 4 important a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone. 5 does-not-build a bug that stops the package from being built from source. (This is a 'virtual severity'.) 6 normal a bug that does not undermine the usability of the whole package; for example, a problem with a particular option or menu item. 7 minor things like spelling mistakes and other minor cosmetic errors that do not affect the core functionality of the package. 8 wishlist suggestions and requests for new features. ---------------------------- snip ------------------------- -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (501, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (25, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-keyring depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.4.16-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.10.0-3 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libcap-ng0 0.6.6-1 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.22-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.16-1 ii libgck-1-0 3.2.2-1 ii libgcr-3-1 3.2.2-1 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-4 ii libgtk-3-0 3.2.2-3 Versions of packages gnome-keyring recommends: ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.2.2-1 gnome-keyring suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
