Not a Firefox issue...marking distro task invalid

Thanks you for reporting this, but a fix has already been committed in bug 624981. Please report any other issues you may find.

Thanks Micah for marking it a duplicate. However I have some question regarding the bug.

I know that it wasn't a firefox issue but was not able to report it using
ubuntu-bug launchpad-registry in Run
and afterwards I forget to change package

1. How to report a bug in launchpad registry..

2.As you know I'm bug triager myself. I want to know why did you added another affects package(and marked the previous as invalid) and not change the affects package. I have never been able to understand when to add another affects package. I would be grateful if you can just summarise what all we can do with affects package ...

Thanks for advance

launchpad-registry is not a package, so 'affects package', and all of
the Ubuntu workflow around bugs, does not apply.
