Acknowledgement sent to Vincent Renardias <vincent@waw.com>:
New bug report received and filed, but not forwarded.

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a psuedo-header at all.

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.

You requested that the message be sent to the package maintainer(s) but either the bug report is not associated with any package (probably because of a missing Package psuedo-header field in the original bug report), or the package(s) specified do not have any maintainer(s).

Your message has *not* been sent to any package maintainers; it has merely been filed in the bug tracking system. If you require assistance please contact owner@bugs.debian.org quoting the bug number 5297.

That's fixed now (and, for instance, "man gawk" works), so I think you can close this bug... -- -=- Rjs -=- rjs@spider.compart.fi, rjs@lloke.dna.fi
