Comment 13 for bug 459628

Yes, I have reported several bugs, some of which actually got fixed, but not because I reported them. 1800 bugs per week is a problem. Some FOSS developers release buggy apps and hope someone else will fix them. Some like to wait for the next release. Some are thankfully very conscientious, like the Canonical staff and volunteers. I do appreciate your work. I just think the "ecosystem" is broken. 1800 bugs per week = broken system.

BTW the bug was not invalid, just ignored. With 37600 new bugs and 77701 open bugs, this is understandable. Canonical would need a staff of 1000 just to have a chance of progress.

I also just noticed that the "missing package" is named in the title of the bug report. I should have entered this in the official place, even if I was not sure.

thanks and regards
Mike
