You're true ; I've not been clear enough. What I meant was : Has any

Okay, good remainder. Cauz' I'm French, I use the word "merde" to
convey the same idea (in French) ; but I'm used to say that this
(French) word is no a swear because the Genaral Cambronne coined
himself this word at the Battle of Waterloo. It's just a culture
clash, indeed.

Maybe, with both luck and time ...
When is used said swears, I didn't intend to be rude at all. In the
contrary, I wanted to stress kindly the upstream maintainer and the
package maintainer a little bit so that they take into account the
severity of the trouble : a software package (any FuseCompress/Debian
versions considered) announced as reliable (i.e. in stable) which
causes serious data losses since Mathusalem, or even before !!!. Note
that my swear was not geared against either the upstream developper or
the package maintainer themselves, but towards the said piece of
software.

My explanations follow your point 3. just following.

The bug I reported against Ubuntu (Natty Narwhal), and the bug I
reported against Debian (Wheezy) might not the same.
All that I said was that they both behaved the same way : they have
the same symptoms.

Note that the incriminated versions of the offending software are not
the same in Debain and Ubuntu.

Furthermore, it is true that I said the problem seemed to have
disappeared. But I missed a KEY POINT :

On Ubuntu, the bug disappeared after upgrading a *few* common system
packages (more info. later ...).

On Debian, on the contrary, while keeping my systems up-to-date, the
similar looking bug never disappear.

Well, you're wise, I have to admit.

But I had a message to convey, though.

And posting my message deosn't mean I'm not patient.

It seems I didn't know perfecty how to observe these conventions. I
know how important it is to respect them, however.

You can safely consider me as a first class citizen of the comminuty
too ; I will progress w.r.t. the language we talk, which I'm not
familiar with (yet).

Note that I'm also a contributor to our fine community.

I would like to thank you for having showed me how to behave better.

With much regards,
