Bug#219940: Please fix this trivial bug, it cause packages to FTBFS.
severity 219940 serious
thanks
Raising this bug report, since it seems to be the only way to get
attention to this.
There are already two packages which seem to FTBFS because of this
smallest of changes, and the proposed fix has also been discussed on
LKML, altough i am not sure if positive action was taken or not about
this, downloading -test11 to see if it was fixed there or not.
That said, even if the proposed fix is not the right way of solving
this, it would be nice to have at least feedback from the glibc
maintainers on this issue.
And parted FTBFS because of this, and i am thus sitting on a NMU upload
of parted since almost a month. And parted is used by the
debian-installer, which in turn is needed to make the sarge release a
reality.
So, please, as aj said, this is a small thing, so let's get it out of
the way and fix it, so we can all go and work on other things, or if
there is a problem with it, temm it, so i can go and investigate more,
and maybe find a better solution.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
