Hi Salvatore,

No. You are right the leak is still there. The newer version in wheezy did fix another issue I had though.

Any chance of applying the patching to the wheezy version? It's a really annoying bug.

My apologies for the misdirection.

Daniel

The workaround (restarting libvirtd) helped.

As per the launchpad bug, the leak is in the netcf package, and that
bug has been fixed in netcf version 0.1.9-2 in Wheezy.

Are you sure about this? The debian/changelog for 0.1.9-2 in wheezy
reads as:

netcf (0.1.9-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add debug package (Closes: #650817)
   * Link against libnl rather than libnl-3 (Closes: #651033)
     - debian/control - fix dependencies
     - Don't apply first two patches

but the netcf-debian-memleak.patch patch was added separately in Ubuntu. It
though should be present in a later version:

netcf (1:0.2.3-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * netcf-debian-memleak.patch: prevent a memory leak when listing
     interfaces

AFAICS.

No it didn't. You are right the leak is still there. (I should have read the changelogs - The newer version in wheezy did fix another issue I had though.)

My apologies for the misdirection.
