There's exactly one version of this package in all Debian and Ubuntu suites: libfile-pid-perl | 1.01-1 | squeeze | source, all libfile-pid-perl | 1.01-1 | wheezy | source, all libfile-pid-perl | 1.01-1 | jessie | source, all libfile-pid-perl | 1.01-1 | sid | source, all libfile-pid-perl | 1.01-1 | lucid/universe | source, all libfile-pid-perl | 1.01-1 | precise/universe | source, all libfile-pid-perl | 1.01-1 | quantal/universe | source, all libfile-pid-perl | 1.01-1 | saucy/universe | source, all libfile-pid-perl | 1.01-1 | trusty/universe | source, all I have a hard time imagining that the patch was removed in Ubuntu in general, and especially without changing the version number :) (And I'm also surprised we haven't seen a bug report about this in Debian or Ubuntu earlier ...) So I'm guessing that the problem is elsewhere, like the patch being not complete or something. Do you have a minimal testcase that shows the actual problem? Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
