You didn't actually create a package like that; you just assigned a bug to a non-existant package.[1] If you want to get rid of a package, you just reassign all of its bugs to a different package. > - As Richard mentioned, we would like/need to forward all > bug-reports sent to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org and > emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org to submit@emacsbugs.

The Package: bit is already done; the version bit isn't taken care of, but it would be possible to do. > Can you arrange to do it directly on your end? Are those just mailing lists? If so, it's not that difficult. Don Armstrong 1: In the ack message you received, there should have been a warning about how the package didn't have a maintainer and probably isn't the right package; we don't currently disallow this because in Debian there are cases where the BTS is behind (usually less than 12 hours) on the set of packages that are actually uploaded. -- I really wanted to talk to her. I just couldn't find an algorithm that fit. -- Peter Watts _Blindsight_ p294 http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu
