1011 | I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem... |
|
|
1012 | The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large |
|
|
1013 | patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but |
|
|
1014 | unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to |
|
|
1015 | the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine |
|
|
1016 | version (<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce |
|
|
1017 | the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific |
|
|
1018 | to Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian |
|
|
1019 | Bug Tracking System (use "reportbug" to report the bug). |

1021 | For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
