Request package upgrade not possible?

[Markus Robert Kessler]

Hi all,

in contrary to usual way i.e. wait until a program crashes and a bugreport
is automatically started, I tried to request to upgrade an existing
package to the current version of its source (muse sequencer 4.1 to 4.2).

Therefore I opened a "launchpad" account as demanded from user and tried
to create such a request, but it seems not to be supported. All you get is
"help" pages, but no form to write a bugreport / request.

Has someone already filed such a request successfully?

Best regards,

Markus

Have you tried?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/

Select Ubuntu there.

Hm. This feature seem not to be supported in a new account.

When I log into https://bugs.launchpad.net,
I select ubuntu,
get an overview page,
click on 'report a bug'

then all that comes is 'documentaion' about 'Getting Support', 'How to
report bugs', 'Create a Launchpad account',

but not a single attempt to provide a form which the user can enter the
bug details with.

This is useless.

Can you provide the exact URL to the form which can be used to indeed
report a bug?

Thanks!

Best regards,

Markus

Maybe try the ubuntu-bug command instead.
