 I wasn't really looking for a maintainer opinion, I was pointing out a
 bug that IMO needs to be fixed.

Ping?

 Hi,
 please unblock pcp 3.6.5. It fixes several security issues. 
 
The shlibs information for libpcp-pmda3 needs to be updated for the new
pmdaEventNewActiveQueue function.

  Hi,
  please unblock pcp 3.6.5. It fixes several security issues.

BTW, there was a comment earlier saying that 3.6.5 only fixes
security issues - that's a misunderstanding, I believe.  This
was a regular PCP minor release, and included those security
fixes (just happened to be the next bug-fix point release).

I did backport the fixes to squeeze, although I can't offer to
do that again (its time consuming, and I don't have spare time
atm).  Others might prefer that approach, and could take on a
similar backport.  I wouldn't recommend that approach however,
as alot of testing is required ( has been done on 3.6.5).

 The shlibs information for libpcp-pmda3 needs to be updated for the
 new pmdaEventNewActiveQueue function.

Strictly speaking that is certainly correct, and should be fixed
in a future PCP update.  However, this NewActiveQueue function
is for a special/experimental use-case.  From the changelog:

- ...
- Added an interface to allow PMDAs to register event queues
  with existing clients (pmdaEventNewActiveQueue).
- Initial version of the (experimental) bash tracing PMDA.

This bash tracing PMDA is the only code using that interface,
and it is a new, experimental PMDA (only optional to use).

So, if you're looking for a maintainer opinion, my preference
is to go with 3.6.5 as is.  A separate bug should be opened for
the new symbol shlibs issue (a patch would be lovely too ;)

Thanks for following up on this Moritz, it'd completely fallen
off my radar.

cheers.
