Did you read herds.xml yet?

Allow me to explain the root of the problem. You're so obsessed with
getting that one bug closed that you're not addressing the actual
issue, which is that the original bb* demo code was hideously wrong in
several places and thus there are a whole load of broken packages in
the tree.

Closing this one bug off will not, in the grand scheme of things, fix
anything. All it will do is give you a false sense of achievement and
make me or someone else file yet another "bb* is broken" bug. If you're
really looking to help here, solve the problem properly. There is more
to it than getting one bug closed.
