While the handling of bugs might not be optimal in all cases, I think that you are making the maintainer(s) in question look bad for no good reason and should rather ask somewhere how and when to file a bug report. (e.g. don't file bug reports to debian bts for non-official debs, don't file bugs for appearantly self-solving temporary dependency problems in sid). Also, you might bother to read and care for instructions at bugs.debian.org. > Bugs that should have been closed ages ago are: Half the bugs you listed have been submitted 18 or less days ago.

You have added another issue to the bug report on 2002-10-18. You then have first requested that it'll be closed on 2002-10-20 on the grounds that it has been solved. kdm (source kdebase) in sid was at version 2.2 until 2003-02-06, when 4:3.1.0-1 was uploaded. The bug probably should never have been filed against debian BTS. If anything it should have been closed either immediatly (on the grounds of not applicable to the kdm package in debian) or no earlier than 2003-02-06. > 183603 18 days old > 183680 17 days old > 183725 (kde is finally in sid) 17 days old > 184311 (kde is finally in sid) 12 days old > 184312 (kde is finally in sid) 12 days old I'm sorry, but I think you are very much drawing a distorted image of the problems with these bugs.
