If this is policy, then, either, the form should simply says so, as "Please do NOT include version extension", or, the form should be smart enough to strip-off the version extension.
For instance, in this "error" message:
"sysklogd-1.4.1-20ubuntu4" does not exist in Ubuntu. Please choose a different package. If you're unsure, please select "I don't know"
the message itself is inacurate, since, in fact, there certainly _is_ a "sysklogd-1.4.1-20ubuntu4". If version data is not wanted, then the trailing "-1.4.1-20ubuntu4" should be stripped-off automatically.
Further, how are developers suppose to know for which version of a package a user is reporting a bug?!! Suppose the bug has already been fixed - is the developer suppose to intuit this knowlege psychically? That may be an unnecessary challenge for the developer. Maybe you guys _really_ do not care about version - I just thought it seems a little odd. |
If when reporting a bug you enter the package name including the version number, e.g. "sysklogd-1.4.1-20ubuntu4", Launchpad claims that the package doesn't exist.
Either the form should say "Please do NOT include version extension", or (even better) it should be smart enough to strip-off the version extension.
[This report previously also mentioned providing a separate version field on the bug-reporting form, which is bug 424.] |
