Like many frustrated programmers who work with C code, he has
inadvertently created a serious bug by omitting a semicolon. Well,
there are some formatting issues as well, but those aren't as
critical. Here, I'll clean up the original:
* F*cking tired with these broken package orphaned.
to:
* F*cking tired of this broken package; orphaned.
Ah, what a difference a couple of characters make.
Give the guy a break, Daniel. As I understand it, English isn't his
