Package: ser2net
Version: 2.10.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

using ser2net with serial devices in subdirectories where the last part
is the same, like
    /dev/google-servo/gru/cpu-uart
    /dev/google-servo/pinky/cpu-uart

currently breaks, as the locking mechanism only takes the last part of
the path into account (cpu-uart in this case) and thus thinks
both paths are the same device.

After talking with upstream, this got fixed in commit
    bfbb27684845 ("Fix UUCP locking to work with device paths") [0]
which also applies cleanly to 2.10.1 currently in Debian.

Maybe you could think about including this here as well?


Thanks
Heiko
