No, fixing a package that doesn't work can be a good reason for version
freeze exception. So if a new version can help fix the problem, it
should be considered.

ic, well in that case, i guess it can be done like this, but if there's no
maintainer for it... personally, i have no problem with this being dropped.

which is not to say i'm trying to hurt people who use it... but if we can't
maintain a package, maybe it's better if the people who want to use it, can
get it from upstream themselves.

Not arguing about this... but I think the attached patch fixes at least (part) of the build problem (for the new maintainer to look into ;-)

and since this is from oracle, i guess the maintainer should also doublecheck
licensing to be on the safe side, since oracle has relicensed quite some code.
who knows, maybe we can't even redistribute it anymore...

I didn't check that... but I did notice that the tarball from upstream (now at 5.2.38) has "gpl" in its name, so assume that's still safe...
