Shouldn't these bugs be RC then? IMHO yes, I just upgraded the severity. Please feel free to downgrade if you (or anybody else) disagrees. > I submitted a one-liner patch, which I tested locally, to the bts > almost a month ago.

Regarding nedit's outstanding 31 bugs (+5 wishlist) and its poor maintenance, a NMU should do more than just fixing this prerm error. However, just try to send madkiss an NMU announcement; the last time I did that for qt-x11-free, he uploaded an updated version then. If you want to take further steps, you are welcome to contact me (in private) if you need assistance with uploading and/or a second look. Have a nice day!
