Subject: Typo? in Debian packaging manual
Date: Sun, 9 Nov 1997 23:40:56 +0100 (CET)
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.19

	From the Debian Packaging manual, chapter 14:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     * Edit/create debian/control:
[...]
          + Add the Standards-Version field. The current value is 1.4.0.19.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

	This is wrong, and may cause some developers to upload
packages with wrong Standards-Version.  It should probably say `See
the Debian Policy for details', or something like that.

Subject: retitling fixed bugs

retitle 16091 FIXED in NMU [was: dpkg: dselect won't read Packages from sunsite]

retitle 17732 FIXED in NMU [was: dpkg suddnely has problems unpacking many .debs]
stop

	Some of these bugs haven't really been fixed by a NMU: some of
them are not bugs, some have been fixed by an official release and
some have been fixed by other packages.  However, I think it's easier
to use the same title on all of them.

Comments:
10072 was fixed a lot of time ago
12617 is not a bug (the submitter agrees on this)
13598 and 13892 have already been fixed by base-files_1.7
16091 was probably a bug in sunsite's mirror; it's not a bug in dpkg
17732 was the "chown/lchown" bug in kernel 2.1.8x
