Coin, Quoting Andreas Metzler <ametz...@bebt.de>:
Could you check whether upgrading to 3.3.10 (just uploaded to experimental) fixes the issues you reported, too?
You're right, this fixed the problem for both minbif and ircd-ratbox.
PS: Looking at <https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer.en.html#severities> this seems to match "a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone" which would be "important", not "grave".
I disagree. When a bug breaks other packages, this is clearly unsuitable for release and ought to be RC. It can't be critical as it does not break "unrelated softwares […]". It can't be serious as it is not a matter of policy. For a library, which only use is to provide functions to other programs, to cause crashes to many rdeps is in my opinion being "unusable or mostly so".
Well, thanks for your help. I think the next step is ensuring this fix enters Jessie. 3.3.10 does not seem to add more than a few fixes (which at first glance seem important). It could be reasonable to discuss an unblock with the RT.
