Package: lockfile-progs
Version: 0.1.10
Followup-For: Bug #244314
Here is a patch to remove the man page note about --retry 0 not trying to lock
at all. This was fixed in liblockfile 1.04 (see bug #161685) so the patch also
forces a depends liblockfile >= 1.04. It will close both #244314 and #161685.
HTH, suggestions on better patching appreciated.
Cheers!
Dave
