Hi Lorenzo, Sorry if I've been a bit harsh. I rarely use reportbug, I do prefer relying on the good old BTS, with its web and mail interfaces. I didn't even know that there was no way in reportbug to search for closed and/or archived bugs. Also, similarly to what you did, I received half a dozen reports from Launchpad for the very same bug around the time the HWE kernel (which is some kind of backport if I understand correctly) hit Xenial, whereas the fix was already available in Artful. I hate that both BTSs default to hide closed bugs, but on the other hand, bugs are supposed to be reported against unstable, not stable. Kernel modules are peculiar in this regard, because people often need to run backported kernels due to hardware support needs. >> [...] a backport for Stretch is available since August 28th, 2017. > We are in 2018 and it dates back to 8 months ago.

If you use a backported kernel, you should also use backported versions of many packages needed by the kernel, among them are the kernel modules like acpi-call. > Thank you, the experimental version compiles correctly. Backports and experimental are two totally different things in Debian ;) Regards, -- Raphaël Halimi
