Mailing lists

Almost all activity in Malone is relayed to a mailing list, [http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs ubuntu-bugs]. You should subscribe to this list if you want to be notified about new bugs and what people are doing to existing ones.

However, it gets a lot of mail. If you just want to read about new bugs that were filed, you want the following [:Procmail] script. You should have the INBOX variable declared to point to the appropriate mailbox 

# Only keep ubuntu-bugs mail that announces newly reported bugs.

Bug bot

Nowadays we simply use Malone and our Bug bot works like this:

For hysterical raisins

In #ubuntu-bugs and #ubuntu-desktop we have a bug bot, which behaves like this:

Which package does a file belong to?

Need to know which package is responsible for a certain file 

dpkg --search /path/to/file
