(Craig, procps.deb maintainer cc'ed) Hi Albert, According to the latest changelog (upstream: 2.0.0; debian version: 2), about half of these bugs are fixed, albeit not actually closed.

This is in the current unstable, but not any of the released version of Debian. I'm not sure if Craig prefers to keep bugs around 'til they're fixed in stable or not. > #33023: procps: cpu times and percentages are half what I expect > fixed > #34250: watch segfaults > fixed, in the previous version > #35756: procps: wrong spacing in vmstat header > fixed > #19208: skill uses commandline not process name > then again, someone would report a bug if it was the other way (it is now) There's no indication in the changelog.Debian that these are fixed though, AFAICT. > #27291: Top is confused with too many processes > not reproducable, likely fixed a long time ago > #33284: vmstat reporting incorrect CPU idle time > Give me an account...

FWIW, etc. Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <aj@humbug.org.au> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
