[Popcon-developers] Bug#704419: popularity-contest: Should vote for packages from Debian archive only

[Askar Safin]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.49
Severity: normal

I created and installed dummy package "safinaskar-test-of-popcon" to test popcon. And this package was ocassionally leaked to popcon!
You can see it on http://popcon.debian.org/by_inst (as on 2013-03-31). Of course, this is a bug! This means any guy can create a lot of packages,
install them, and they will appear in popcon statistics. This is bad. So, I can add to your statistics some 1000000 random packages. So,
please deny votes for packages not from Debian archive.
