Stupidly, in fact. I have been told that it was supposed to be removed from Sarge because it doesn't work properly against the BTS, but on two systems I run it (seems to) works, but on a system that I have running a Sarge/BP/Testing blend (don't ask) it doesn't work at all. Period.
I would love to be able to run apt-listbugs, but cannot in my current arrangement (see Bug# 389903 for further information on my case) Regards, Russell -- -- Russell Weatherburn mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oxyoss.net Semper Fidelis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
