Package: gnome-pilot
Version: 2.0.15-0.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
The gnome-pilot file conduit cannot be safely used on amd64 due to an
upstream pointer-size bug (GNOME Bugzilla#410666). If one attempts it,
the entire gnome-pilot setup for that user will crash on sync until the
file is manually removed from the install queue (an undocumented
procedure, but to be fair the file conduit itself is undocumented also).
I'm attaching a one-line patch that fixes the bug -- also sent upstream,
but since we're close to the Etch release, please consider including it
if anyone NMUs this package.
