Isn't that a feature? It's relatively rare for it to be worthwhile to assign a bug to multiple packages that happen to have the same version number; about the only case where that can happen short of pure coincidence is assigning to multiple binaries from a single source, which doesn't seem terribly valuable from the version-tracking point of view as they'll all be closed simultaneously anyway. The current regex allows you to reassign to a package and at the same time list multiple versions that you know manifest the bug, which seems a bit more useful. Oh, but I've just realised that you might mean reassigning to multiple package/version pairs. Yes, that would be useful. I'd suggest PACKAGE/VERSION PACKAGE/VERSION ... as the syntax. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
