Can someone help me understand why 510765 keeps on appearing on liferea's bug page? It's been closed in all the relevant versions, and the little graph on the left shows nothing but green boxes, but everything (the bts, the pts, my qa page) show liferea as having 1 open rc bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, AFAIK, the correct way of closing bugs is a mail to #-cl...@bugs.debian.org or #-d...@bugs.debian.org. By making a versioned done- (Version: 123-1 as first line), you can also tell from which version the bug is fixed.

Because it's not -done. In order for a bug to be shown as resolved two things has to be true: 1) the bug has to have been marked as done, either by a message to nnn-d...@b.d.o explaining why it should be closed, or a message to control with 'close ' (deprecated, because it doesn't tell the submitter that it was fixed, but I'm using it in this message.) 2) the bug has to be either fixed or absent in the distribution which you're querying for all architectures the bts cares about. Finally, if you don't know why it's not being fixed, feel free to ask here or in #debbugs on irc.debian.org; mucking with the found/fixed versions when the bug was actually found in that version generally isn't a good idea.

I guess you didn't close the bug. Only marked it fixed. See: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#fixed Paul signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

So, what exactly is the use case for fixed? fixed is there for cases where you've already -done'ed the bug, and want to directly modify the fixed list (say you forgot to mention that you fixed it in the changelog, or made a mistake, or someone found it improperly, or...) In most normal cases, you shouldn't need to use the fixed, found, notfixed, or notfound commands directly.
