"Show only bugs with patches available" lists reports n times for n patches

[Steven Sheehy]

When using the advanced search feature in the bugs section to search by status and patches available, the results returned show the same bug multiple times. It should only show a bug once. Here is the URL where you can see this issue:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxdcpp/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&search=Search&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.bug_supervisor=&field.bug_commenter=&field.subscriber=&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch.used=&field.has_patch=on&field.has_cve.used=&field.tag=&field.tags_combinator=ANY

If this URL doesn't work, you can reproduce it using the following steps:
1) Visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxdcpp/+bugs?advanced=1
2) Choose "Show only bugs with patches available"
3) Click Search

It seems to show the bugs multiple times only if there are multiple patches inside the bug. So if there's 3 patches in the bug the bug is shown 3 times in the search results. It should only show the bug once regardless if there are multiple patches inside the bug.

See also bug 1357, about bug reports being returned multiple times for multiple targets.

I checked out the advanced search described in the description and, yes, I see the same bug listed more than once.

(PS The use of the word 'duplicate' in the title can be a bit confusing - people using Launchpad usually think of "duplicate bugs" to mean two or more bugs with different bug numbers but describing the same problem. This is not what you mean here so I am going to change the title.)

I don't think this is really a duplicate of bug 1357 -- that is about bug reports showing up n times for n targets, whereas this is about bug reports showing up n times for n patches. It's possible that the same fix might fix both, but not obvious that it would.
