The debdiff you attached would be fine in principle, but unfortunately the version in Jessie is 14.1-2, not 15.2-1. With 271 files changed, 52206 insertions(+), 33080 deletions(-) I'd rather have a targetted fix for the documentation bug through tpu please. Downgrading the bug is also an option, though I feel slightly uncomfortable shipping a package with a license inaccuracy. -- Jonathan Wiltshire j...@debian.org Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
