One would need to know enough of (cough) Perl to find out from where $msg_number stems in: https://sources.debian.org/src/debbugs/2.6.4/Debbugs/CGI/Bugreport.pm/?hl=465#L465 $output .= qq|<hr><p class="msgreceived"><a name="$msg_number"></a><a name="msg$msg_number"></a><a href="#$msg_number">Message #$msg_number</a> My best guess is https://sources.debian.org/src/debbugs/2.6.4/cgi/bugreport.cgi/?hl=331#L331 push @log, handle_record($record,$ref,$msg_num, ... But there $msg_num looks like being incremented in single steps, not in steps of 5. It starts by either 0 or $msg - 1. So i guess it's the latter and $msg is already 5 or whatever we see in the bug reports. When looking for $msg i see a comment in https://sources.debian.org/src/debbugs/2.6.4/cgi/bugreport.cgi/?hl=331#L60 shortly before $msg might get filled from some "$param{msg}": # This is craptacular. I agree. My capacity for suffering is exhausted by now. Have a nice day :) Thomas
