[1] In this case, the original report was made to a package-name with a typo (libaqbaning44). So this control [server] instruction was reassigning it to the actual package, (libaqbanking44) - with one clone of the original bug report. This is probably an exceptional usage case since the cloning of the bug report is done to correct the package-name rather than to indicate the bug in two actual packages. Tony [1] https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control [...] clone bugnumber NewID [ new IDs ... ] The clone control command allows you to duplicate a bug report. It is useful in the case where a single report actually indicates that multiple distinct bugs have occurred. "New IDs" are negative numbers, separated by spaces, which may be used in subsequent control commands to refer to the newly duplicated bugs. A new report is generated for each new ID. Example usage: clone 12345 -1 -2 reassign -1 foo retitle -1 foo: foo sucks reassign -2 bar [...]
What does "Control: reassign -1 libaqbanking44" mean?
Hi i am translator Debain webpage in Korean. At bug mailing, some user wrote in body of message [1] as below: #+begin_src text Control: reassign -1 libaqbanking44 #+end_src In particular, i am curious the digit "-1". For long time i was thinking about that the "-1". Is that "subtraction"? or another meaning? Oh please really my head is stiff..
