  • Request package upgrade not possible?

    From Markus Robert Kessler@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 15 18:47:25 2024
    Hi all,

    in contrary to usual way i.e. wait until a program crashes and a bugreport
    is automatically started, I tried to request to upgrade an existing
    package to the current version of its source (muse sequencer 4.1 to 4.2).

    Therefore I opened a "launchpad" account as demanded from user and tried
    to create such a request, but it seems not to be supported. All you get is "help" pages, but no form to write a bugreport / request.

    Has someone already filed such a request successfully?

    Best regards,

    Markus

    Have you tried?
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/

    Select Ubuntu there.

    Has someone already filed such a request successfully?

    Yes.

    Yes.

    Hm. This feature seem not to be supported in a new account.

    When I log into https://bugs.launchpad.net,
    I select ubuntu,
    get an overview page,
    click on 'report a bug'

    then all that comes is 'documentaion' about 'Getting Support', 'How to
    report bugs', 'Create a Launchpad account',

    but not a single attempt to provide a form which the user can enter the
    bug details with.

    This is useless.

    Can you provide the exact URL to the form which can be used to indeed
    report a bug?

    Thanks!

    Best regards,

    Markus

    Maybe try the ubuntu-bug command instead.
