Oh, for fuck's sake, this is why I have, for years now, requested that Debian simply *stop shipping XScreenSaver*. I am so sick to death of this continuous bullshit of "well, there's a bug in your software from two years and six releases ago." To Debian as a whole, please, I beg of you, stop wasting my fucking time with this bullshit. To Sergio: before you submit a bug report in anything, UPGRADE. Not to the version that some slacking upstream asshat has made easily available to you, but to the ACTUAL LATEST VERSION. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2016/04/i-would-like-debian-to-stop-shipping-xscreensaver/ -- Jamie Zawinski • jwz.org • dnalounge.com
