Still an NMU candidate, though, IMHO. I upgraded this one; I think it deserves "serious" severity since it makes wmbubble die after a few seconds with "Floating point exception" when running a 2.6 kernel. As I said in the message to control, I guess most users will be running a 2.6 kernel during Sarge's lifetime. The solution to this problem is not to NMU with the patch found in #207377 but to update the package to version 1.41 which has upstream support for Linux 2.6 (not just CPU counters), see #220643. I had several mail exchanges and IRC conversations with the maintainer who promised several times to do so, but he seems to have real-life problems right now and never got around to doing it. Note that he didn't followup to any of the bugs opened against wmbubble at the moment. -- ,''`. : :' : Romain Francoise <rfrancoise@debian.org> `. `' http://people.debian.org/~rfrancoise/ `-
