Bug#178394: qa.debian.org: find out problems before cron.monthly does
Package: qa.debian.org
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-01-26
Severity: minor
sorry but here's some examples of somethings maybe packages should
check: things that won't be discovered until cron.monthly does.
e.g. the HylaFAX folks never thought i wouldn't even have faxed once
this month.
the Nautilus people had some other problem... i don't really know
what Nautilus is all about but i seem to have it installed :-)
both i have probably reported and perhaps are fixed already... next
time i do apt-zip i will know...
anyways the point is: maybe in the lintian or policy areas, such
problems could be caught before cron.monthly catches them and sends
worrisome messages to the user.
