This bug was filed, *with a patch*, 15 months ago. The patch was *included upstream*, 14 months ago. And yet, it's *still unfixed* in Debian. Why? There's been no response from the maintainer, and it will in all probability *remain unfixed* in squeeze. Why? This is a simple bug, with a simple patch to rectify it. I find it hard to believe that no action has been taken to apply the patch and close it given that the patch was provided at the time it was filed. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
