Ah, so closed-source software we don't ship is broken -- Proper Free Software we ship works? Quelle surprise!

Have you made sure you are running the updated packages?

It's not what I test my stuff with. Also, my interest in working on software that we don't ship or is even is impossible to debug (due to its closed source nature) is rather minimal. Do those programs appear in g-v-c? Are they properly unmuted there? > I've tried filing bugs, it doesn't help -- the rate of breakage > is way faster than I can file bugs (not to mention that filing > bugs is too sluggish for words). Hmm, let me see, that other issue you filed 2009-04-03 and this one is already too fast for you to file? I mean, I really don't want to burden you too much. From now on I'll try to make sure that bugs in software I work on for *development* distributions only appears at a rate of 1 every *two* months, to make sure it doesn't get too fast for you to follow. > Something is Just Plain Wrong (TM).

You are complaining that you have to file more than one bug per month and are using a development distribution! Calm down! Also, there's always the option to reopen a bug when you think it is not fixed properly. This options was added because sometimes things like this happen. Calm down!
