Like any wishlist bug this bug will stay out of the radar until we have some more manpower. I haven't tested the patch, but the main problem I see is that this is a perl script. We certainly don't want to make libc6 or libc-bin depends on perl, which will introduce another dependency loop. Also it's probably not a good choice while people are trying to remove the usage of perl in the base system. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
