Hi, so I guess there is no easy answer:-/
Luckily, in this case the bug-report gives a
workaround that is easy enough:-)
But what is the Debian bug-fixing process?
In this case patch 9 was developed - problem 'fixed' -
but, 205 days later the patched version is still not
available as a .deb package for Sarge, but Etch now
has patch 12 which may or not possess other problems?
I (imho) imagined a different scenario:
Critical bug in package 'foo' spotted in Sarge; patch
written to solve this problem, but this might have
unknown problems so patched 'foo' sent to 'testing';
package 'foo' development frozen till patched 'foo' is
considered stable; patched 'foo' replaces buggy 'foo'
in Sarge; 'foo' development unfrozen.
Any comments? Dave (Please be gentle - I am new to all this:)
