That will be difficult since sometimes the bug does not hit for weeks and then suddenly chrony starts to loop all the time. So I'd say go ahead and upload the new version to unstable, and if there are no new occurances of the bug for 1-2 months then you can close it.

Re: Bug#476573: preinst fails on etch->sid dist-upgrade with old unopkg

Yes, that's unfortunately true. > Option 2 > > Policy 7.2 says you need a Pre-Depends for such cases... I tried around with this last night for various rounds, and settled now for this: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/openoffice.org-voikko/openoffice.org-voikko_2.2-3.dsc debdiff attached. I'm not sure if both -common (unopkg) and -core (unopkg.bin) pre-dependencies are really needed, but I added them while trying to find out the problems I had. The problem I was having was that since the old voikko is removed before the new one is installed, the new preinst is called with install instead of upgrade. So I decided to remove the old voikko extensions also when preinst is called with install, since postinst anyway installs the new voikko again. One possible problematic situation with more than one old voikko extensions was also resolved. There is a remaining concern that since the old openoffice.org-core is removed before the old openoffice.org-voikko, the old extension is not removed by the old OOo. However, the new unopkg seems to do a fine job removing the old extension, too, unlike maybe some time ago when OOo was a bit more shaky about these things. So, currently with this version I'm successfully having etch -> lenny upgrades (or, lenny + my local ooo-voikko repo with this version). The new unopkg is usable at the time ooo-voikko's preins tis called, old voikko version is removed and new one is installed. The extension works, as does extensions dialog in OOo (the dialog didn't start when the old voikko wasn't removed properly). Pre-Depends should be used sparingly, but it would seem like a good fit here. -Timo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Fwd: Bug#477386: devscripts: [debcheckout] should check for repository on unstable
Hi there! Yesterday evening I found a bug in debcheckout/devscripts, which actually is caused by how `apt-cache showsrc $PKG` returns the different versions (testing -> unstable -> experimental -> stable), completely different from `apt-cache policy $PKG` (read below for examples). It seems that I'm the only one who considers this as a bug: is there any rationale behind this? And why not showing the same output as `apt-cache policy $PKG`? I decided to not cc: the BTS, but feel free to do so if you think it's necessary.
