All of that should have been in the original bug report. Glad we managed to get to the bottom of it eventually. OK, so maybe it isn't minor as I thought - I agree it is normal severity and the Developer Reference does not include normal severity bugs in the list for NMU's. Annoying does not qualify as important and only important or higher qualifies for an NMU - unless the package is in the lowNMU list which this one is not. There are other ad block utilities for iceweasel - I guess the maintainer is waiting for the next upstream release. Sorry, I don't see that you can do any NMU for this package without explicit permission from the maintainer. If he doesn't reply or wants to wait, there is nothing you can do to fix this bug. You certainly cannot do anything without supplying more information in the bug report itself. The current bug is singularly unhelpful and lacking in content. Whichever way it works out, uploading to mentors was entirely the wrong thing to do and that version needs to be removed IMHO. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
