It's not, I'm afraid :) Two things are wrong: a) You did not pass the appropriate -v option to dpkg-genchanges (or dpkg-buildpackage, debuild or whatever you used to generate your .changes file). This means that only the most recent changelog entry will be taken into account by dpkg-genchanges. b) It's not Launchpad that looks at the changelog and sees which bugs seem to be fixed. It's (again) dpkg-genchanges that looks for at the changelog and adds a Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed field to you changes file. *That* is what Launchpad looks at and closes bugs according to. c) It seems that bugs can only be closed in this way if there's a bug task against the package you're uploading. E.g. I fixed a bug that was reported against kvm by upload a new vgabios. That bug did not get closed because I didn't bother adding a bug task against vgabios. I'm not sure how c) applies when the bug is reported against Ubuntu rather than a particular package, but a) and b) still hold true. -- Soren Hansen Ubuntu Server Team http://www.ubuntu.com/
