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.
