Hi John,

thanks for your bugreport.

As I see it, there are two ways to solve this: a.) create a procps-etchnhalf
package (IMHO ugly and not really saving us from b anyway) or b.) document
this in http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/etchnhalf

Or is the above report bogus? I havent confirmed it, but then I don't have a
reason to disbelieve it neither.


regards,
	Holger

etch is EOL, so probably no need to keep this bug open.
