Thank you. > I confirmed that this is enough to fix the problem in minetest.

It's quite easy reportbug release.debian.org and then a short explanation why you want that unblock + the debdiff against the version in testing.

There too, your advice would be very welcome. > I think we should stick with Minetest for the time being because I perceive the goals of freeminer as rather vague and I don't see any kind of big improvements that would justify a switch. I'm also quite reluctant when it comes to forks. They should really prove that they are the better alternative and I can't see that currently with freeminer. There is also only one server at the moment http://servers.freeminer.org/ and the Minetest community is much more vital and active. > Thanks for your time, > Mt. Regards, Markus
