Right. This in fact is one and the same bug, but cloned, showing in packagesearch and apt-file bug records. When it gets closed it does that for both packages. FWIW, you are not blocked to resolve that bug in packagesearch by that apt-file bug (this is simply not a packagesearch bug), and you don't need to specify in which version of packagesearch this bug is fixed, since the bug is clearly an apt-file's bug. If you use a simple reassing the bug will not be shown for packagesearch, but apt-file only. But IIRC you want it to be shown for both packages. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
