A security fix introduced a 'grave' bug



Hi,

Recently, I adopted the mc package with Stefano Melchior, and I'd like to
address the following problem: A woody security update broke the most
important feature in mc:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=246943
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=249366

What can be done when a security update adds new bugs ?
Is there a way to make a new version available quickly and not having to
wait for the next woody update ?

This completion bug is awful... Could you imagine a 'bash' or 'zsh' security
update breaking the <tab> key ? That's nearly what happened to mc :-(

Cheers,
