Sorry, I indeed forgot to lower the severity. It's a cloned bug that is indeed a valid grave bug for nbd, but not for libc6. Changed that with this message. If I'm not the only one with this problem, it might be a higher severity than normal, though; I'll leave that up to you. > What is the > problem? Which version was it worked? The differences between nbd-server 1:2.3-4 and 1:2.3-6 is only differences of packaging; I converted to po-debconf, and added some translations from ddtp.d.o. There were no modifications to the C source. However, 1:2.3-4 works, while 1:2.3-6 doesn't. This leads me to believe it's a problem with either libc6, binutils, or gcc. I assigned the bug to libc6 because that seemed the most valid candidate to me; however, it might be that I'm misguided, and that the bug is in fact not libc6's fault. To be sure, I ran nbd-server from within gdb, and checked what happened; it looked as if the socket for the child process was closed when the parent closed it, which obviously is incorrect. IIRC, 1:2.3-4 was compiled using libc6 2.3.1-1, because I remember waiting for it to be on my system. 1:2.3-6 has been compiled using an up-to-date sid system, last week. > If I can not get valid > information, I reassign this bug back to package nbd.
