Bug Description
1. search for a bug report and pick one i.e. from the samba ubuntu package
2. press the "Report new bug" link
3. you're asked for the summary, enter some information and click "No I need to report a new bug"
4. change the package name from the proposed "samba" (or whatever) to another value, either manually or by using the "Choose..." popup
5. complete the bugreport and press "Submit"
result: bug is assigned to package "samba" (or whatever was proposed in the package field).
relative bug: Press "Choose", search for "launchpad", on page 3 select "launchpad", submit the bug. Result:
"launchpad" does not exist in Ubuntu. Please choose a different package. If you're unsure, please select "I don't know"
expected: if it's not a package, why am I allowed to choose it?
(this happens to me every time I report a bug, because I cannot find how to report a bug from bugs homepage :-P )
| affects: | samba (Ubuntu) → launchpad |
Ubuntu does not want you to report bugs that cannot fix. Bugs must be reported against a package for the right people to see it and fix it. Ubuntu prefers you to report bugs using the desktop application's help menu or use the command line tool "ubuntu-bug".
