[ Ondřej Surý ] ... * New debian patch always_use_system_crypt.patch (Closes: #572601) * New debian patch php_crypt_revamped.patch (Closes: #572601) -- Raphael Geissert <geiss...@debian.org> Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:11:48 -0600 I'm building test packages w/o those patches to see if the problem is resolved that way. ** Changed in: php5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: php5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: php5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1046330 Title: Incorrect crypt() function behavior To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1046330/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
