So, I replaced the last line: (...) I think it would be best if you sent this information to the BTS, as a patch for the current package. That way others (including the maintainer, which needs not be following this thread) can test it too. Please provide as much information in order to reproduce this issue as possible too. Those are the very first steps you should take before even considering a NMU. Also, in this particulary case, read the README.NMU file in the sources. I've been reviewing these packages' bugs. Even if some patches could be introduced to fix some of the issues I'm not sure all of them are appropiate. Even so, this package is of base priority, so it's frozen in sarge, only RC bugs should be fixed there. Maybe a cleanup of the package could be considered (following the NMU procedures above) and I'm open to doing it myself (as I've been doing it for other base packages). I haven't yet contacted Joey, however, since I'm still considering this option and how to do it best. One option, for example, is to do a NMU to experimental so other people can test the package (and verify that the bugs are actuall fixed) before uploading to sid. I have done this for other base packages (like ifupdown). I suggest you think about it (and the consequences of a broken^Wuntested upload at this point) before talking with him. Regards Javier
