I chose the severity because it's a violation of a 'must' clause in the policy (and that's what reportbug advised to set). Of course, I'm very much aware about the fact that web sites change all the time, but I also do find it very important to properly track upstream sources. Other than that, I'm inclined to do an NMU to close the bug - the change is trivial and doesn't affect functionality in the slightest, after all. Therefore, letting the change through should only be a formality. But apart from that, I am confused about the state of this package, wrt. who is currently responsible, and why http://packages.qa.debian.org/libf/libfcgi-perl.html says that the package conforms to standard 3.6.2 and not 3.8.0, as it probably should. I don't know if that's a requirement for Lenny, however. Kind regards, --Toni++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
