Hello release team, hello mentors, the Ubuntu folks discovered a bug [1] in cracklib-runtime that turned out to be caused by a bashism in its update-cracklib script. Steve Langasek fixed the issue in the Ubuntu package and forwarded me a link to the debdiff [2]. Unfortunately a new upstream version of cracklib2 has been created and was uploaded to unstable recently, so I cannot simply go the way through unstable. I don't want to introduce the new upstream release in Lenny at this late point of the release cycle and you surely do not want it too. I prepared an upload to testing-proposed-updates that includes only the fix for the bug mentioned above and the fix for the cracklib-runtime's postinst "maintainer-script-ignores-error" fix that I made in 2.8.13-1. I'm no DD so I need a sponsor to upload the package. I put the package on mentors.debian.net [3]. The debdiff is attached to this mail. Will the package reach Lenny this way? If not, could anybody please unblock it when it's uploaded?
