Correct, this is not happening. Please browse on the bugtracker directly
to samba by visiting
  https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/
and then use the popup to select "samba_common". Then open the search filter
and set "Hide Status" to "none", then lots of bugs appear which I closed
yesterday. From your description I would have expected that they would have
been moved to "samba", as samba_common was obsoleted by this one. However,
please note that a package may be obsoleted by more than one package, so it
may be best to just leave the bugs and re-register the _stub packages.
I tend to leave artifacts in the view so they are clearly visible instead of
applying different levels of magic.


Best regards
