> I might also add that on my other box, running Gentoo, which most consider pretty cutting-edge and up to date (being a rolling distro) EVEN THERE I had to UNMASK a version marked unstable to fix this.. and it's not like I'm running Jessie.. the version in Buster is LESS than a year old.. and NO NEWER version in SID for me to even attempt back-porting.
