Bug Description
Hi,
Please take a look at bug 345706.
The comment by Sveinung Kvilhaugsvik (kvilhaugsvik) on 24 Apr, where
he says that he updated the branch was emailed to me as:
"""
Updated my bazaar branch containing the fix since another packagekit
0.3.14-0ubuntu5 was released and Jaunty already is out
** Branch unlinked: lp:~kvilhaugsvik/packagekit/ubuntu-packagekit
"""
indicating that he had removed the branch. I went to the bug to look and
there was a linked branch. The same action is in the activity log.
I don't know if the branch was unlinked at this point, but it is confusing
that it states it was unlinked, but doesn't have a subsequent "branch linked"
message, when there is a branch there now.
Thanks,
James

It's hard to say exactly what went wrong here, but one issue is that when the branch scanner links the branch to the bug when it find --fixes revision properties using a different API to link the branch to the bug, so it doesn't get recorded in the activity log. Let's fix the scanner so that it uses the right API; after that we can see if this happens again.
