Hi, I'm just curious because reviewing this bug it looks like the patch provided by Scoot is _precisely_ the same patch I provided (albeit with the comments describing the behaviour removed). As I mentioned in the bug report, the code I provided was taken verbatim from remove.c (well, it has been reindented but it's exaclty the same code). Reviewing the NMU I can see that the applied patch does not include any of the comments I provided (nor references) which, I believe, gave appropiate credit. After all, Brian Hatch found this issue first (even if he did not report it himself). Is there any reason why my comments (and the debug line I added) have been removed from the patch? Regards Javier PS: Giving credit would have been also a nice thing, BTW. PPS: I would have liked to hear dpkg-dev's team input in this issue, changes in this package are of significant importance that I did not want to risk doing an NMU. PPS: CCing me in the replies to Erno would have been nice too.
