package: bugs.debian.org severity: normal Hi, I've been noticing these issues on and off when doing control server commands, but got a whole string of issues when dealing with #693894, so I've decided to document them. If you want me to split this into multiple bugs, please let me know.
The first issue was when Josselin uploaded the fix. At that time, the bug was assigned to nautilus-open-terminal, but the fix was included in a gsettings-desktop-schemas upload. So, after that the bug was in package nautilus-open-terminal, but marked as fixed in gsettings-desktop-schemas/3.4.2-3. I wonder if these types of situations could be improved by automatically reassigning bugs when they're fixing in other packages? Although I suppose a consequence would be unexpected behavior in the case of a typos in the closes: number in changelogs. Maybe the right thing is to not close bugs that are fixed in packages that the bug isn't assigned to, and send a mail stating that. My first command was merging a duplicate report (also assigned to nautilus-open-terminal). That went as I expected. > forcemerge 693894 694128 Merged 693894 694128 My next command was reassigning the bug to the the right package (gsettings-desktop-schemas), which marked the bug as notfound in nautilus-open-terminal, but also unexpectedly marked the bug as no longer fixed in gsettings-desktop-schemas/3.4.2-3 > reassign 693894 gsettings-desktop-schemas Bug reassigned from package 'nautilus-open-terminal' to 'gsettings-desktop-schemas'. No longer marked as found in versions nautilus-open-terminal/0.19-2. No longer marked as fixed in versions gsettings-desktop-schemas/3.4.2-3. So my next step was to correct that, and also set the found information. The found command unexpectedly reopened the bug (I suppose because there was no fixed info at that time, and I suppose I could train myself to put fixed lines first, but that's a bit tedious). > found 693894 gsettings-desktop-schemas/3.4.2-2 Marked as found in versions gsettings-desktop-schemas/3.4.2-2 and reopened. > fixed 693894 gsettings-desktop-schemas/3.4.2-3 Marked as fixed in versions gsettings-desktop-schemas/3.4.2-3. Then I closed the bug, and that of course went as expected. > close 693894 Marked Bug as done Thanks for looking into these issues.
