This is a regression: Changelog:
: eggdrop (1.6.16-2) unstable; urgency=high
[...]
: * Changed LANGDIR on src/eggdrop.h (Closes: #254824)
An updated patch for this issue (against 1.6.20) is attached.
Without messages the bot is unusable by anybody but very experienced
operators, and may even be dangerous! (It detaches from the console and
may continue running in the background without the user being made
aware, allowing the first user who finds it on IRC to take control.)
I suggest upping the severity for this bug.
With regards,
Bas van Gompel
