--- Begin Message ---Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: jessie patch User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu linkchecker, a package to check links in a webpage, suffers from a serious bug (#839241) which makes it impossible to check any HTTPS webpage or any page that contains a HTTPS URL. Although it correctly checks plaintext URLs, the HTTPS URLs are so common that it makes it impossible to use it on any site that has any link to an HTTPS site, or is an HTTPS site itself, which I consider a "grave" bug because it "makes it unusable by most users". I have made a NMU to fix the bug in Debian: https://packages.qa.debian.org/l/linkchecker/news/20160519T192043Z.html .... and submitted the patch upstream: https://github.com/wummel/linkchecker/pull/656 Attached is a debdiff between the -1 and -1.1 version. I suggest uploading the -1.1 version straight to stable since newer releases were done in stable. I am concerned by a subsequent QA upload that fixed a related issue, however: https://packages.qa.debian.org/l/linkchecker/news/20160723T130426Z.html I am not sure this bugfix applies to jessie, however, as I am using -1.1 here in jessie without problems. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)

Done, thanks for the review and followup! A. -- If it's important for you, you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse. - Unknown
