Hi, Steven: Thanks for this patch. Is this needed before stretch releases?

I agree with this reasoning, but I'd rather have the libbsd support in an upstream Unbound release rather than in the Debian package. I'll see about producing a patch suitable for upstream. -- Robert Edmonds edmo...@debian.org
