Where to submit errors in Debian Linux ?

Could someone please tell me where errors in Debian Linux (non-existing packages, wrong dependencies, etc.) should be reported to ? Perhaps there is a special mailing list for that ? Thank you very much, Johannes Plass -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe

And dselect doesn't provide a decent way to handle this situation. Regards, Johannes Plass -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail

Re: gs -anitialias * cause core dump(Re: gv -antialias?)
