Bug#500527: contradictory GCC bug reporting instructions
Package: gcc-4.3
Version: 4.3.2-1
/usr/share/doc/gcc-4.3/README.Bugs says:
There are complete instructions in the gcc info manual (found in the
gcc-doc package), section Bugs.
The gcc info manual in gcc-doc (version 5:2), in that section,
has a list of criteria for reporting bugs, but then the section
titled "How and where to Report Bugs" contains only one sentence:
Bugs should be reported to the bug database at
http://bugs.debian.org/.
If these are indeed the complete instructions, then I would
suggest that they be inserted directly into README.Bugs instead
of forwarding the reader to the Info manual.
It also seems odd that the "Summarized bug reporting
instructions" later on in README.Bugs are much longer than the
"complete" bug reporting instructions given in the info manual.
I think that something must be missing.
