--- Begin Message ---Package: apt-listbugs Version: 0.0.90 Severity: important Hi! In order to fix bug #485109, you apparently rewrote the bug-version detection logic. Now there seems to be the opposite problem, though: apt-listbugs alerts for unfixed bugs that have been found only *later* than the version under consideration: $ /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs -s important list audacious/1.5.0-1 Reading package fields... Done Reading package status... Done Retrieving bug reports... Done Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done important bugs of audacious (1.5.1-3 -> 1.5.0-1) <marked as done in some version > #468926 - audacious: sometimes refuses to play MP3 stream (with errors or segfa ult) (Fixed: audacious-plugins/1.5.1-1) important bugs of audacious (1.5.1-3 -> 1.5.0-1) <unfixed> #487206 - audacious: Audacious fails to detect ogg and MP3 file lengths and to play music #487828 - audacious: Failed to load plugin #483106 - audacious: does not play music #491615 - audacious 1.5.1-1 (lenny) fails with a Segmentation fault on startup #446852 - audacious: Goes crazy with network playlists Summary: audacious(6 bugs) Of these 6 bugs, some should *not* have been listed, because they have been found in a later version with respect to audacious/1.5.0-1: #487206, #487828, #483106, and #491615. I mean: these 4 bugs are all unfixed, but they have been found in audacious versions which came *later* than audacious/1.5.0-1. Hence, lacking other information, they should *not* be considered as affecting audacious/1.5.0-1. I think that, with the current logic, the user will have to review a lot of false positives (e.g.: bugs found in experimental, while the user is using apt or aptitude to upgrade a testing system). Let's take a look at the code. /usr/share/apt-listbugs/apt-listbugs/logic.rb includes the following snippet: if fixed_max_below == nil && found_max_below == nil # this is a hard thing to handle, but do some guessing here if found_min_above == nil puts " ... found is nil; I guess I am buggy" if $DEBUG val=true else if fixed_min_above == nil puts " ... fixed is nil; bug is not fixed later than this version, I guess I am buggy?" if $DEBUG val=true This last val=true is executed in the case when * there's no version marked as "fixed" (both fixed_max_below and fixed_min_above are nil) and * the first version marked as "found" is later than the version under examination (found_max_below is nil, but found_min_above is not nil) For the reasons explained above, I think this instruction should instead be val=false Indeed, changing that instruction to val=false, produces the following result: $ /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs -s important list audacious/1.5.0-1 Reading package fields... Done Reading package status... Done Retrieving bug reports... Done Parsing Found/Fixed information...
