Are we showing you potential duplicates we shouldn't, or is the problem that you are unable to decide whether one of those bugs is a duplicate or not? > Another query I have is what happens when there is a duplicate > of the bug one wants to file & the original is marked private (not yet > released to public). So would the system show the private bug or > would it allow to post the duplicate also? Unfortunately, no. Private bugs aren't well-handled in this situation, and that's an unfortunate consequence of how apport works right now; we're working to provide a better forum for crashes, though. > Lastly, I saw this > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucasNussbaum/UsertaggingBugsReportedToDebian > while these are nice for developers who are able to send patches etc. > (no programming skills here) what for guys like me who sometimes comes > to know that some of the packages/apps. are synced or merged from > debian so should we users also put some tags or what is advisable.
