[pkg-fso-maint] xserver-xglamo installation broke shortcuts of matchbox on the freerunner

[Luca Capello]

Hi Sylvain!

I added the Openmoko community and the smartphones-userland mailing
lists, because the information below is useful for everyone who wants to
report a Debian bug (not only for the FSO packages, but in general).

Thank you for your bug report, but I am quite sure you receveid an
error, since your submission mail was not in the correct format.
However, in case a number was assigned to your bug, please tell me which
one is.

Please read carefully the "Reporting bugs" section at [1] before any new
submission.

1) you should really use reportbug [2], it makes life easier and it
   takes care of everything, you then just need to fill the body of the
   message.

2) do not directly Cc: the pkg-fso-maint mailing list: if you do so, we
   need to search for the bug number (very annoying) and thus it takes
   more time.  Instead, use the X-Debbugs-CC header as explained at [3].
   Quoting the "Assigning tags" section at [4][5]: "finally, if your MUA
   [6] doesn't allow you to edit the headers, you can set the various
   X-Debbugs- headers in the pseudo-headers".

3) check if the bug has already been submitted, I just added this
   information to the wiki page [7]

This should be put after the pseudo-headers below: everything "manually"
inserted should be after the "*** Please type your... ***" sentence.

This is the real subject of the report, i.e. the mail subject: you do
not need to specify it again.

> Package: xserver-xglamo
> Version: xserver-xglamo_1.3.0.0+git20080807-3_armel.deb

The package version is not the full .deb, but the one returned by

  $ dpkg -s $PACKAGE | grep ^Version | awk '{print $2}'

In this case, it should have been just "1.3.0.0+git20080807-3".

This has already been reported as bug #501575 [8], a duplicate of bug
#497438 [9].

The "System Information" section should be automatically filled by
reportbug [2].  In case you still do not want to use reportbug, please
leave it blank.

Thx, bye,
