tags 787478 - moreinfo thanks Hey, The patch for grave bug #787471 has successfully resolved the issue. It is both in unstable and testing (11) and it didn't cause any problems there. I have applied the patch (attached) to the stable version and packed it. It builds fine in stable (jessie) environment and it also works flawlessly there. Fixed package is pushed to git repository [1] and if it accepted by stable release managers I'll upload it (RFS to be more precise). Regards, T.
