It is one of the jobs of the package maintainer to deal with bugs, either by communicating with upstream to get them fixed, or fixing them directly in cases where upstream can't or won't. (And then hopefully continuing the conversation with upstream by discussing the patch with them.) If the package has no active upstream, that doesn't relieve the package maintainer of the responsibility to deal with bugs. Only ceasing maintainership of the package ends that responsibility. -- \ "One thing vampire children have to be taught early on is, | `\ don't run with a wooden stake." -- Jack Handey | _o__) | Ben Finney <ben@benfinney.id.au>
