You can't close a bug if you don't fix it. If it is something that you don't intend to fix, mark it as "will not fix" but that is not the same thing as solving the problem.

Please consult the debian-mentors or debian-devel mailing list if you need help handling this package. Please do not close this bug before you fix this bug. -Brandon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
