I don't especially. The fact is that the bug does cause the upgrade process to hang, and since it very often happens during a dovecot upgrade (coincidentally, but frequently), it means that important services are down for longer than I want (and when I notice, I'm often not in a position to fix the problem). This would be an even worse disaster if it happened at the same time as a postfix upgrade. Upgrades must be able to run unattended, period. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
