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... Done

#446852 - audacious: Goes crazy with network playlists
Summary:
audacious(2 bugs)
I think this correction should be applied.
