I would think that you would send the bug to the people from whom you received the package. If its a debian package, send the bug to debian. As they say, the bug may only exist in Debian. The upstream people won't want to track down a 'downstream' bug. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
