Use "send <bugnumber>" to get the transcript of a bug, which will
tell you which package the bug is assigned to. See
<http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-request> for other commands.
You can also use the web interface at <http://bugs.debian.org/> to
look up bug information.

If the bug report is no longer valid, it should be closed. You should
send a message to the bug number, explaining why the bug should be
closed (if this information is not already in the transcript). The bug
will eventually be closed by its owner.
