Package: libhttpfetcher1
Version: 1.0.1-1.1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
The source for libhttpfetcher1 declares 'extern int errno' directly,
instead of using errno.h, which causes all programs using the library to fail
miserably on start on systems with a newer glibc, for thread reasons.
Enclosed is a simple patch to fix this problem:
