The reason for this is that I was (blindly) trying to modify an "archived" bug: the bug had already been closed for 30+ days, and the BTS wrongly allowed me to manipulate ... just about everything, really, except for the DONE flag. Conveniently, I was trying to reopen it because of bug #342545 which was filed about the same issue; so unmerging the two leaves #342545 right where it should be. While it's misleading for the system to allow manipulation of archived bugs (this is a known bug), the BTS mail interface did actually give me several warnings that what I was doing wasn't working, so it's not exactly causing silent breakage. BTW, I think you meant to report this to the bugs.debian.org admins, not to the maintainer of the debbugs package? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
