<div dir="ltr">Hi Markus, I usually close them with the following answer: <div class="boardCommentBody"> <div class="bug-comment">"Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, v-m-c is not provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package at <a href="http://www.betavine.net/bvportal/web/linux_drivers">http://www.betavine.net/bvportal/web/linux_drivers</a> . However NetworkManager 0.7 is integrated in Ubuntu 8.10 and is capable of dialing up with 3G devices (but doesn't handle proprietary extensions) Thanks you again and don't hesitate to submit any new bug." As of today, I've got no response from user complaining about it or considering this is an abusive way of closing the report. </div> </div> Jean-Baptiste. <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 11:18 AM, markus korn <<a href="mailto:thekorn@gmx.de">thekorn@gmx.de</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d">On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 12:17 AM, Brian Murray <<a href="mailto:brian@ubuntu.com">brian@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: > Recently the apport-retracer was modified[0] to assign apport-crash bug > reports without a package to the package for the application that > crashed as a part of the retracing process.

There are a few bugs on the list where I'm not sure what to do: * <a href="https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/209521" target="_blank">https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/209521</a> * <a href="https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/222665" target="_blank">https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/222665</a> * <a href="https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/223890" target="_blank">https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/223890</a> * <a href="https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/225874" target="_blank">https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/225874</a> they were all filed against twisted, but the target was removed with a comment like "not a bug in twisted", without any alternative package. They are all about the "vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux"-application, which is, as far as I can see not part of any ubuntu repository. So: what todo about them: marking as invalid because they are about 3rd party apps?
