Please unblock package collectd
This is a request for a pre-approval. The package has not been uploaded
to unstable yet. The new version fixes various important bugs causing
segfaults or lockups in either collectd or related software. All patches
are already applied upstream and will be part of the next upstream patch
release (which didn't come out in time for the freeze, thus I extracted
all important fixes). Here's a summary of the changes; a full debdiff is
attached:
collectd (5.4.1-6) unstable; urgency=medium
* debian/patches:
- Added bts770681_riemann_ack: upstream fix for the write_riemann plugin
to avoid locking up a remote Riemann instance; thanks to Marc Fournier
for reporting this (Closes: #770681).
- Added bts747093_lvm_segfault: upstream fix for a segfault in the LVM

libcurl caused by concurrent memory access; thanks to Marc Fournier for
