Not true - it is a bug but as long as adept can install packages from the package names and get the dependencies right, upgrade packages and remove packages, it is basically functional. > For reference, see #657557 That's for the www.d.o website, not a package! Completely inapplicable. Justification should reference Debian Policy, as advised by reportbug itself. adept is not unusable without extended descriptions, it is a bit harder to use but that is NOT a justification for a release critical bug, it's just a bug. Just what do you expect to happen by making adept have an RC bug when it is orphaned? Do you want to have it removed from Debian completely? Orphaned bugs rarely receive bug fixes, more likely that someone will seek to remove the package. adept has already missed the Squeeze release by being removed before that release. If it's going to miss Wheezy as well, it probably is worth removing from Debian entirely. Severity does NOTHING to influence how quickly a bug is fixed, especially with an orphaned package. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
