Package: libtdb1
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: important

Hello,

I've studied git log for tdb today, and found that there are lots of
patches with important fixes after tdb-1-2-1 which are not in Debian.

Here is what I've found (but there is maybe more such things...):

  - tdb: fix recovery reuse after crash[1]
  - tdb: handle processes dying during transaction commit.[2]
  - tdb: fix short write logic in tdb_new_database[3]

  1: http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commitdiff;h=b37b452c
  2: http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commitdiff;h=ec96ea69
  3: http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commitdiff;h=91e4a176


Also there is one better-to have patch:

  - Fix tdb_check() to work with read-only tdb databases.[4]

  4: http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commitdiff;h=bc1c82ea


and (maybe, not sure) one locking-related fix:

  - tdb: don't suppress the transaction lock because of the allrecord
    lock.[5]

  5: http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commitdiff;h=b754f61d


Since first 3 all relate to db staying correct I consider this having
severity "important".


Thanks,
Kirill
