The trick is, you mention the specific bug number in the changelog entry as "(closes: #710532)". That automatically marks the bug as "done" when the version with that changelog reaches the repositories: "http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#upload-bugfix"; The alternative way of doing it, available to random users like me, is to send a control message like the above (assuming I've got the syntax right) declaring the bug "fixed". It would also be possible to close the bug by mailing "[email protected]", but that may be restricted to package maintainers - I've never tried it. -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
