We don't really have a decent bug search engine yet, sorry. :( Google with the search term site:bugs.debian.org *might* help, but it's hard to limit that to particular packages. Now that we have the BTS on a machine with a vaguely plausible amount of disk space (as of a couple of weeks ago), something better may eventually become possible. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
