Hello there, as this upload was regressing on autopackage tests, Kevin and I have worked towards an updated version, to fix the upgrading hiccups it caused.
I've uploaded the attached debdiff and pushed these changes to https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dictd/-/merge_requests/5 too. I'll comment on the two bugs with ideas on how to move forward.
