Upstream just released 5.6.2, which contains this patch. You could just wait for it to be packaged in sid. If you'd like to build it yourself, then first of all thank you for the willingness. The procedure is documented on http://ircbots.debian.net/factoids/factoid.php?key=package+recompile ; between step 4 and step 5 you should apply the patch, such as by running 'patch -p1 < /path/to/patch' and edit the first line of debian/changelog to read, say, 5.6.1-1+~foo1 instead of 5.6.1-1. The plus-tilde construct ensures that after you install the package you'll still upgrade automatically to any future version. The patch is 43446: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/commit/7c5241edf37fbafc9e1f833aede76c524ce62bcb.patch (and http://www.zsh.org/mla/zsh-workers/43446) Cheers, Daniel
