Especially after I made the effort to make the package work with tarballs as shipped by upstream. And "HE" seemed to agree too. Furthermore, the problem is resolved upstream in Pike 7.8, which bundles Nettle 1.15 and should probably replace Pike 7.6 entirely in the next release. I apologise for not protesting sooner, but could you please cancel the NMU? I can't stop it simply by uploading a new Debian revision since you increased the upstream version. -- Magnus Holmgren holmg...@debian.org Debian Developer
