Bug#751095: debbugs: Too strict when forcemerging for multiple packages, with apparent underlying errors in some cases.
Package: debbugs
Severity: normal
Hi,
I was recently merging some bug reports in the igerman98 package. One of
them was being reassigned to both "ingerman" and "iswiss", but seems that
the BTS is too strict about multiple packages naming, not considering
"ingerman,iswiss" and "ingerman, iswiss" the same multiple assignment (may
be the ordering is important sometimes, but for most cases even
"iswiss, ingerman" should be equivalent). Using the same string as before
works as expected.
Also, that forcemerging seems to trigger an error in debbugs code, see
below the BTS reply to the original request
Regards,
Agustin
