Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2010-09-08 08:31:50 UTC
This is really the same as bug #629404 and I wonder why abrt didn't recognize it's a duplicate -- it has the same abrt hash after all. The only difference I see is that I changed the component to mesa in the original bug and added a comment, but that shouldn't be a reason for abrt to open duplicate bugs. Maybe abrt doesn't cope well with the new Bugzilla version?

I'll change the component to abrt for investigation of this problem.

Comment 3 Karel Klíč 2010-09-08 09:10:57 UTC
ABRT currently checks if the component is the same.

We should probably remove this check. A negative consequence of the removal is that (for example) if a GTK bug is reported to Evince, users of all applications using GTK get their crash reported to the Evince bug too. So we need to add a comment with the reporter's component if it's different from the existing bug's component.

Comment 4 Nils Philippsen 2010-09-10 09:40:19 UTC
Abrt should probably compare the component name to the current one and those already recorded in the first and subsequent comments. If it's any of these, adding another comment would just clutter up the report.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 10:19:36 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 6 Karel Klíč 2011-04-28 22:01:49 UTC
We should detect library crashes on Bugzilla level (using a tool which operates on Bugzilla). Client reporting problems to Bugzilla cannot have enough information to recognize whether a bug belongs to an application or some library.

Comment 10 Jiri Moskovcak 2012-09-18 11:29:44 UTC
I believe this bug is fixed. ABRT deduplicator found rhbz#629404 as a duplicate which according the comment#1 is really a duplicate.
