How to change the software package an issue is filed under in the Debian bug tracker?
The help page has these instructions:
> In case you need to write a message to the bug and also manipulate the bug's metadata, the commands can also be included in the mail to nnn@bugs.debian.org. Do this by starting the mail with the commands prefixed by Control: . Another common way is to send a copy of the mail to control@bugs.debian.org and start the mail with commands terminated by thanks.
and then under Commands available:
>reassign bugnumber package [ version ]
I tried:
*
Control: reassign -1 kde-plasma-desktop [5:142]
at the start of mail reply to the bug report with control at bugs.debian.org in the CC (I think I should have used nnn@ here; all below went to the same control email)
* Control: reassign 1019438 kde-plasma-desktop [ 5:142 ]
* Control: reassign 1019438 src:kde-plasma-desktop [ 5:142 ]
(thanks in the line below)
* Control: reassign 1019438 kde-plasma-desktop
(thanks in the line below)
* reassign 1019438 kde-plasma-desktop [ 5:142 ]
(thanks in the line below)
I could not find a full example anywhere so I'm asking here.
