.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B popbugs
program fetches the list of release critical bugs from the
Debian bug tracking system on the internet.
It correlates the bug log with the
.B popularity\-contest
data from your system to obtain a list of release critical bugs
in packages, which are commonly used on your system.
Normally this list is displayed in a web browser.
Helping to resolve these bugs is a good idea,
if you want to see your favourite programs in the next
stable release of Debian.
