[DRE-maint] Bug#839892: closed by subins2000 <s at subinsb.com> (Please report to upstream)

[Salvo Tomaselli]

reopen 839892
thanks

Hello,

in Debian users are encouraged to report bugs to package maintainers,
not to upstream projects.

The maintainer can decide to report it to upstream, in which case it
should be marked as forwarded
https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#forwarded

If you fail to reproduce on a newer version it's also valid to close a
bug. It could be that upstream has fixed it, I haven't used this in
several years.

Best

I difensori della morale tradizionale sono raramente persone di cuore. Si è
tentati di pensare che essi si servano della morale come di legittimo sfogo
al loro desiderio di fare del male agli altri.
