Packaging problems persist even if the underlying software was updated
many times.

Next time do not flood reporters flood component owners (with a 'can we
close this yes/no ?' if no answer do not close is assumed) since
component owners are the ones asking to push stuff under the carpet and
should at least perform some activity to get their wish.

Anyway the damage is done, decent reporters will forgive the bug zapping
project this time but you've just expended your error budget and will
need to win a lot of credibility back before another mistake is
forgiven.

A bug filled against rawhide in 2000 which had a comment in february
2008 is obviously not obsolete. What counts is activity not date of
creation
