No, this is related to the bug, because it was the same bug, only for a different package version. And such an information or the request for this information (the other bug's number) should be added to the comments, so that other people who've got this issue, too, and only find this closed bug can find the current open bug report. Otherwise everyone would need to contact the developer directly by e-mail which could be much more annoying for the developer than one or two additional comments to the closed bug report and wouldn't help other people. It would of course be still better if the developer would give the bug number of the current bug to which he refers directly. Greetings, Heiko
