Bug#716922: Taking it up with upstream myself, WTF?
If I wanted to take it up with upstream myself
I’d use Gentoo or something.
As a Debian _user_ I cannot even simply try upstream
patches because I’ve got to use Debian packages, and
they’re often heavily patched *and* lagging behind
upstream versions, which means upstream would *also*
not be willing to help me.
And this is at work, which means I have absolutely
no "developer hat" here. It’s a means to do productive
work, and it has to work.
I mean, you were given the problem description, an
easy way to reproduce (set Akonadi to use PostgreSQL,
watch it explode), and even a preliminary analysis.
As a package maintainer it’s *your* job to work with
upstream to fix this. Especially if you got this good
bugreports. I’d be happy if all were like this.
In the meantime, I have downloaded
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20130524T214652Z/pool/main/q/qt4-x11/libqt4-sql-psql_4.8.4%2Bdfsg-4_i386.deb
and overwrote the .so file… again.
It now works. Until the next time dpkg overwrites the
file. I could probably use a local diversion.
bye,
