And is not the behavior I'm complaining about. Yes, I have always gotten
them.
For instance, this time I got:
------------------------------------------------
>From owner@bugs.debian.org Thu Nov 8 16:37:00 2001
Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2001 14:18:05 -0600
From: Debian Bug Tracking System <owner@bugs.debian.org>
To: Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>
Cc: Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>
Subject: Bug#104829: marked as done (atari800_0.9.9f-2(unstable): missing zlib1g-dev and sharutils build-deps)
<body deleted for bandwidth reasons>
-------------------------------------------------
Which I expected, and have always recieved.
But then, almost right after that message I get:
--------------------------------------------------
>From rmurray@cyberhqz.com Thu Nov 8 16:37:21 2001

From: Ryan Murray <rmurray@cyberhqz.com>
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Subject: atari800_0.9.9f-2(unstable): missing zlib1g-dev and sharutils build-deps
Package: atari800
Version: 0.9.9f-2
Severity: serious
<Body deleted>
--------------------------------------------------
Which, at first glance, looks like a new bug report.
While I admit that it wasn't too hard to figure out that it was the old
bug report, there doesn't seem any reason to plonk this in my mailbox ...
again. Two replies to a closing report, one of which isn't the closing
report, just seems to me to be overkill for no good reason.

Close, but no cigar ;-)
