At the end Don was needed: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=36;bug=751428


<dondelelcaro> mapreri: the problem is that 736644 is in one block
set and 58903 is in the other; there are some bugs which have screwed up block
sets
<dondelelcaro> mapreri: your best bet is to unblock those bugs, then
re-block them, and try to forcemerge again
<dondelelcaro> mapreri: if it doesn't work, or if you get stuck,
e-mail [email protected]
<mapreri> dondelelcaro: umh.... as far as I can see #736644 and #58903 are in
both block sets, how can you state that? Are you suggesting me to `unblock
751428 by 736644 58903` && `unblock 660826 by 736644 58903` && `forcemerge
660826 751428` && `block 660826 by 736644 58903`?
<dondelelcaro> mapreri: oh, so they are. 736653 isn't, though.
<dondelelcaro> I'm not sure why the order is wrong, either... they should be
numerically sorted
<dondelelcaro> this came out of a bit of a bug with the previous implementation
of forcemerge, which didn't properly handle blocked and merged bugs
<mapreri> even 736653 is in both. the point is that the blocking bugs aren't
ordered.
<mapreri> (looks so, at least)
<mapreri> dondelelcaro: do you want to take care of it? and catch the bug?
<dondelelcaro> mapreri: ah, right
<dondelelcaro> mapreri: I think this is a bug that I fixed quite a while ago..
but perhaps forcemerge shouldn't worry about the ordering of the bugs so long as
the set is the same
<mapreri> In my opinion both: forcemerge shouldn't care of order and the bugs
should be ordered, but that's up to you, from my point of view the important bit
is: "it must work" :)
<dondelelcaro> mapreri: yeah; that's how it should work. Please file a bug
against debbugs so I have a record of it
<mapreri> dondelelcaro: ok.


Thanks you for maintaining debbugs!
