Bug#807019: unison2.40.102: Segmentation fault

[Ashley Hooper <ashleyghooper@gmail.com>]

Thanks Mehdi,

I was able to install the packages from packages.debian.org here:

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/unison2.32.52/download
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/unison2.32.52-gtk/download

Then I installed them using dpkg -i and used:

apt-mark hold unison2.32.52
apt-mark hold unison2.32.52-gtk

...to hold those versions so they wouldn't be overwritten by the next apt upgrade.

It now seems to work fine. Is there any reason the Jessie versions couldn't be retained in Stretch instead of the broken unison2.32.52 version?

Unfortunately, there is no plan to downgrade OCaml's version in Stretch.
If you need a working Unison setup across multiple systems based on different
versions, you may copy needed Unison binary around, for now.
