I searched for this bug both in Github and in the Debian BTS and found nothing prior to filing the report, but I did not review the release notes. Sorry about that. In attempt to improve my own procedure, I found the Debian release notes here: https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/t/toot/toot_0.34.1-1_changelog They neglect to mention the fix, which is documented here: https://github.com/ihabunek/toot/releases?page=2 In the future, I will try to remember to check both sets of release notes (Debian & upstream) before filing. Since the upstream release notes are made available, the Debian policy suggests that maintainers to include them in the distro release notes. So I have submitted a separate (downstream) bug report for this but it has not yet been assigned a number. ------------------------------ Sandro Tosi said: > this is the version in oldstable, it's probably time to upgrade to > something newer, Perhaps eventually. I appreciate the information. But it’s important to realize that upgrading a whole Debian system is not to be taken lightly. People like myself keep various quite fragile pkgs on life-support which are easily broken in upgrades. I’ve seen the havoc and catastrophe dist upgrade can cause. Risks often far outweight the benefits particularly in this case. It also requires having high-speed unlimited broadband access. Sometimes either a hot site or cold site, backups, roll-back contingencies, etc. It’s a big deal. The undertaking would a crazy remedy to the bug herein, or for anything toot related for that matter. Most importantly: oldstable is still officially supported for another year¹ from now. > which hopefully will stop this stream of bug reports Bug reports are essential for QA.

Please read the “Don't file bugs upstream” section of the bug reporting procedure². Footnotes: ① https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases ② https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting#filedalready
