Niels, thanks for replying and pre-approving it on RT side, and taking the time to describe how to do such requests properly. Andreas, would you please prepare the upload? I have no upload rights and, as I understand, they are required to do it. On the other hand, if you think I should somehow do it - please mentor me a bit - I have only basic Debian knowledge and from my point of view prepared the change in a way to be directly acceptable to pkg-util-linux repo. Thanks again to all, Kirill -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
