This had two effects: * I got an "Unknown problem report" message in response to my mail to 90208@bugs.debian.org; * The control bot said "Bug number 90208 not found". I ended up filing a new bug report instead. The "Unknown problem report" message said: "This may be because that Bug report has been resolved for more than 28 days, and the record of it has been expunged" - except that this isn't true in this case, as it's been archived instead. The BTS should check in the archive as well as the current database when processing mail to bugs and to the control bot, and move bugs back out of the archive as appropriate. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwatson@flatline.org.uk]
