Hi LaMont,

I suspect this is the final word on it from the release team and we may
have to stick with 9.9.5.

Here is the patch I submitted in the RC bug, it is one line:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=12;filename=install_dlz_dlopen.patch;att=1;bug=769117

It has already been tested, it correctly installs the missing header and
then my package builds too.  Is it OK for you to add this and make the
debdiff or would you like me to do it as an NMU?

Regards,

Daniel
