Hi,

I've been pointed to this discussion on the list and want to give some
explanations about the bug flood which happened this week.

That sort of bug flood is what is happening at the moment when an
application face a crasher and is mainly due to the efficient of the new
xmlrpc bug-buddy.
(that means you are not likely to get 200 bugs/day every day and there
is no reason to panic)
The issue is known and the bugsquad team has some plans to make the
situation better. You can read the blog entry Elijah wrote previous week
about the topic:
http://blogs.gnome.org/view/newren/2006/09/30/0

The particular issue which generated all those bugs was a pygtk 2.10.2
bug. I'm the one which uploaded the broken version to edgy and I'm sorry
I didn't spot it before uploading

Well, I think that broken packages is quite expectable from a devel distro. No worries :-)

Somebody mentioned blocking bugs from Ubuntu. I don't think that's a
good idea...

Fear not. We won't take desparate measures :-)

Thanks a bunch for explaining the situation. Feeling confident that the flooding is only a temporary thing, I can live with it for a while...

I'm just baffled since deskbar was rock steady on my edgy box which I dist-upgrade almost every day...

Anyway, in time I know we will reap the rewards of the automatic bug reporting :-)

Cheers,
Mikkel
