I'm slightly torn on this one. Whilst the patch seems "obviously
correct", it's not applied to the package in unstable, which is
usually a requirement for accepting a patch for stable. There's an
argument that it's unlikely that anyone will try to update from
squeeze's sympa to jessie's without having upgraded perl in between,
but conversely the patch should work fine with the package in
unstable.
Are there any plans to apply the patch, or otherwise update the
package, in unstable?
This fix apply on a Debian patch[1] which has been merged upstream[2]
in
sympa 6.1.19 and the fix itself was applied a few commits later[3].
I'm currently working on the packaging of sympa 6.1.20. It should be
ready to be uploaded in unstable within the next few days.
