Hello! It seems to me that the BTS version tracking is no longer working correctly. Yesterday the RC bug count page [1] suddenly reported more than 2000 RC bugs closed or downgraded. The actual listed RC bugs were not really closed or downgraded, they just seemed to lack knowledge about which package versions are currently in the various Debian suites (testing, unstable, stable, ...). [1] https://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ As of now, the RC bug count page [1] claims Number concerning the current stable release: 24 Number concerning the next release: 25 which is obviously wrong. I think the problem is grave, as it seems to allow packages to migrate to testing with new RC bugs. For instance, fbpanel/7.0-2 [2] has just migrated to testing, and this migration introduced one unfixed RC bug [3] into testing. [2] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fbpanel [3] https://bugs.debian.org/846626 I hope this BTS issue may be fixed real soon now, since it is apparently causing harm to the stretch release process (this is why I am Cc-ing the Release team). Thanks for your time! Bye. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! ..................................................... Francesco Poli .
