I would like to confirm that this issue also exists on **Ubuntu 22.04
(Jammy)**.

Since the `dstat` source currently used in Ubuntu is no longer
maintained ([dstat-real/dstat](https://github.com/dstat-real/dstat)),
continuing to patch individual issues is not a sustainable solution. As
[Torsten Bronger](https://launchpad.net/~bronger) already noted, the
project is effectively abandoned upstream.

It may be better for Ubuntu to update the package to use one of the
actively maintained forks/replacements, such as:

* [**dool**](https://github.com/scottchiefbaker/dool) (drop-in maintained 
fork), or
* 
[**pcp-dstat**](https://github.com/performancecopilot/pcp/tree/master/src/pcp/dstat)
 (part of the Performance Co-Pilot project).

This would provide users with a more reliable tool and reduce the
ongoing maintenance burden of carrying local patches in Ubuntu.

Would it be possible to consider switching the Ubuntu `dstat` package to
one of these maintained upstreams for future releases?
