Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock I would like to request a pre-approval before uploading a fixed package. The bug in question is #859935 (bsd-mailx sends 8bit messages without MIME headers). I consider this release-critical as it’s a regression for the “mailx” command/interface: in jessie, one could just use U-A to select heirloom-mailx for mailx, which handled this correctly. I wish to ask for inclusion of this to stretch because bsd-mailx is now the only “mailx” provider, and this is relatively easy to fix. The patch is here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=859935;filename=bsd-mailx_8.1.2-0.20160123cvs-3.0teckids1.debdiff;msg=5 (would of course be uploaded as -3.1) The impact of the patch is: If the user does not specify any additional header (with the ‘-a’ option), then and only then does it add MIME-Version, Content-Type (text/plain; charset=<whatever the current POSIX locale uses>) and Content-Transfer-Encoding (8bit) headers. Otherwise, nothing is changed compared to before the patch. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unreleased APT policy: (500, 'unreleased'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: x32 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, amd64 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init)
