Maybe so, but I think the respective developers should first be given chance to fix this or improve it, if they can. Only if the developers come to the conclusion that there are fundamental problems that prevent the solution, then they should come here with the details. Alternatively, the OP could look into the sources and make sure these are not simple bugs in those packages, then explain all that in the report. Failing any of these, I don't see how filing this report can be of any use. I mean, who will look at this?
