Well this is what I call "cheating the user" and "maintainer lying at 
themselves about their package's state" and why I consider "FIXED 
RAWHIDE" to be non-helpful.

The maintainer did not fix the bug a "reporter" filed, but left it 
unresolved and fixed another bug: Another incarnation of the same bug 
waiting to hit the users in the next release.
