Re-titling this bug report. An example of an error report from a ‘merge’ command: > Bug #843021 [wnpp] ITP: node-yarnpkg -- a fast, reliable and secure npm > Unable to merge bugs because: > blockedby of #863704 is '886873 886844 886849 886866 886843' not '886849 886866 886843 886844 886873' > Failed to merge 843021: Did not alter merged bugs. The ‘blockedby’ and ‘block’ sets are the same, ignoring order. The ‘merge’ command should ignore the order of items in those sets, when comparing the sets. -- \ “He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his | `\ enemy from oppression.” —Thomas Paine | _o__) | Ben Finney <bignose@debian.org>
