We encountered this bug as we were upgrading our production environment to Lucid. I'm a little disappointed that this fix won't be applied to lucid, as our production environment is now going to have to be modified to work around this bug until the next LTS release, by which point we will have possibly forgotten all about the change in the first place.
While I realise this isn't a severe regression, I think the SRU policy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates could be applied to this scenario as a bug which "(1) [has] an obviously safe patch and (2) affect[s] an application rather than critical infrastructure packages" I would put this on par with removing the -j option from tar, then postponing a fix until the next LTS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544935 Title: netcat-openbsd exits too soon -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
