This sort of thing is normally handled with an MBF (mass bug filing), as far as I'm aware. Generally an MBF gets discussed in advance on some appropriate mailing list; if there's a Debian Ruby mailing list (which seems likely), you could mention it there and see what people say. As there are only a handful of packages involved in this case, however [1], it might not be unreasonable to just file separate but near-identical bugs against each of the affected packages. [1] On my system (amd64, tracking testing), the command 'apt-file search /generator.so' returns only 7 results: * two from ruby-json * one from libruby2.2 * one from libruby2.2-dbg, which almost certainly shares a source package with libruby2.2 * one from libruby2.1 * one from trafficserver-experimental-plugins, which may be unrelated * one from trafficserver-dbg, which presumably shares a source package with trafficserver-experimental-plugins Since you don't need more than one bug report per source package for a case like this, that makes for a maximum of 5 separate bug reports; if the trafficserver hit turns out to be unrelated, it could be as few as 3. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
