Hey, guys. Why on earth do people always think that if package X fails
to configure, and they find a bug report which is titled "X fails to
configure", that the bug might be the same?
If your LaTeX run stops with "I can't find file XXX. Please type another
input file name:", and somebody else had a similar problem with an other
file, do you also assume that this is the same bug?
Man, I don't want to be offensive. You are not the only one to react
like this. But I would like to know:
What should we do to make it clear that there are thousands of reasons
why upgrading/installing can fail, 900 of them happen in the postinst
script, and all are different and deserve their own bug report?
Regards, Frank
