Hi Release Team, Hi Anibal There is [1] for rstatd "does not work with kernel 3.0/3.1 or any other 3.x kernel". With the kernel from backports thus rstatd will not work at all, writing into syslog only: rpc.rstatd: dummy function, should never be called! I'm not the maintainer of this package, but would like to ask, and if too Anibal agree, if it would be possible to have this minimal patch in Squeeze applied. Attached is a local debdiff for it, taken from the already patched version in unstable. The version in unstable is now for some months already uploaded. [1]: http://bugs.debian.org/654276 What do you think, is this possible? Many thanks in advance, and regards, Salvatore
