Bug#518027: Dependence on configuration?
Is this bug still actually open, or is it just that no one has bothered
to formally close it yet?
It looks to me, from the discussion, that this has been completely
unreproducible for anyone but the original reporter, and that the
original reporter seems to have found a satisfactory resolution. If the
original report points to a bug which could have other effects and needs
to be fixed, then it's appropriate to still have a bug report covering
that; if, however, the problem is a one-off, then there doesn't seem
much point in leaving this open any longer.
Even if the problem is not a one-off and the underlying bug could have
other effects - according to a comment in the post which gave the bug
report its current title, that actual bug if any is in dpkg-gensymbols,
which seems to be part of dpkg-dev. If that's the case, wouldn't it be
appropriate to have the bug be filed against dpkg-dev, rather than
against libc6?
