I'm now working on pycurl 7.19.5 for Debian and I was looking at porting over as much of the Ubuntu delta as possible. I think the patch for this is no longer necessary, but it's difficult for me to test because I also no longer have an i386 machine on which to test. Note though that we are now linking against gnutls 2.8, so if the suspicion is that the bug is in gnutls 2.6, maybe it's fixed in 2.8 and pycurl won't be subject to the bug.
In any case, I am not going to back port this fix, so we'll have to see if anybody reports a bug once the package is pulled into Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pycurl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063350 Title: curl corrupts floating point context Status in “pycurl” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: # add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa You are about to add the following PPA to your system: Welcome to the Wine Team PPA.
