Bug#334698: closed by Christopher Martin <chrsmrtn@gmail.com> (reply to Christopher Martin <chrsmrtn@debian.org>) (Re: Bug#334698: htdig: AMD64 arch corrupts databases)
Hi,
Actually, Debian has never had more than one version of htdig in the
archive. This was 3.1 until my recent upload, which replaced it with
3.2b6. The 3.1 package was hopelessly uninstallable and RC buggy - the
official count didn't take into consideration bugs (like #334698) which
weren't listed as RC but should have been. I reasoned that slower
software that our users could actually install and would be in our
release was better than fast software no one would/could use without
massive annoyances and a trip to archive.debian.net.
Since 3.2b6 resolves bug #334698, it was entirely appropriate for me to
close the report.
If you really want to keep using htdig 3.1, then you should:
1) Fix all the RC bugs the package had, not just the libdb2 issue.
2) File an ITP and upload a new htdig3.1 or htdig-legacy package.
3) Be prepared to maintain it without upstream support.
Cheers,
Christopher Martin
