By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description mgb-trinity 2014-11-20 21:22:07 CST 
# apt-cache show trinity-apt-archive | egrep '^(Package|Priority|Version)'
Package: trinity-apt-archive
Priority: important
Version: 4:14.0.0-r1-0debian7.0.0+pr2


Some people find it hard to work with trinity-apt-archive installed.  See related discussion in #649.

For example when some mirrors are unstable I need to use a particular mirror directly instead of redirecting through pearsoncomputing.net.  I also find it easier to maintain sources via our config management rather than via packages.

We may be somewhat unusual here but we almost always install all priority=important packages and sometimes all priority=standard packages.  We particularly do this in the early stages of testing a release when we're looking for serious bugs and don't want to worry about corner cases which might only occur when an important package is missing.

This package has no reverse dependencies.

Please consider changing its priority to optional.

Agreed; this was a simple oversight on my part.

Fixed in GIT hash 4abc907 (tde-packaging).

Thanks for reporting!
