[Webmin-maintainers] Re: webmin-firewall, webmin-exports, etc. no longer in testing.

[Edwin Clubb]

Thank you for your quick reply.  I am curious as to how/when this bug going to be
resolved.  I have been unable to find any similiar issues reported for webmin-firewall on
any other distro, or even by other Debian users.  I cannot see that this bug has ever been
submitted to the webmin bug tracking system either (www.webmin.com/bugs.html), so it would
seem that the developers are unaware of it.  Has anyone else even replicated the problem?
