You might be trying to imply that you want a solution that solves this for upstream as well as for Debian, and that my fix only affects Debian builds, and that's fine. The impetus for this email was just to note that I'd tested the submitter's patch and found that it didn't work. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
