What is happening to this bug?

This is marked as a duplicate of bug #129146, but I cannot view that and also get no updates to it.
There is also no possibility of verifying if it really is a double.

You should not mark public bugs as duplicates of private bugs - but the other way round is ok.

That way, we would all get to know the development of the bug and can provide additional info about the bug/harware if needed and can help with testing.
Now, it is not possible.

Further, if i go through the trouble of testing gutsy and submit bug reports, i expect to be informed about development.
Otherwise, who will care to submit reports any longer?

Please, correct the situation.

Well, I still can't report errors the easy way since the error-reporting tool continues to crash.
And I'm still shut out from the bug solving process.

Apport crashed everytime when I try to report a crash-File which has only root-Privileges. I think apport should be extended to be able to report crash-Files with root-Privileges.
