(cc'ing the bug in question) No strong objection, just a note. The fact that upstream rejects bug reports bothers me, that's the main reason why I filed the bug. The upstream code has issues but we don't have a way of sharing our fixes. See also #437474, where the submitter sent patches directly to me because upstream was unresponsive. Axel, given that you care and current upstream clearly doesn't, how about taking over the upstream maintenance? -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
