Packages are not arbitrary labels. "Packages" are. I said that packages are "packages" (i.e., labels) plus other things. What I was saying, in other words, is that you can assign a bug to any arbitrary label, but that the label is not a real package unless the package exists. > Bug reports against packages that don't have a maintainer shouldn't be > submitted, because there's no indication that someone is going to look > at them. In this case, the error is that no one has asked for the > rmail package to be created. But still, you can search for the label "rmail" even if no package exists. Juanma
