Re: Encountered a bug with a dependency of wondershaper, but I'm unsure which dependency, and how to proceed with submitting a bug report

I've been using wondershaper on Debian Stable for the past couple of years
and it's been excellent.

I got a new pc recently with modern hardware and thus I installed Debian
Testing on it.

I've noticed when I set the same rules within wondershaper on Stable and
Testing, I get different behavior.
Stable acts as expected, low latency and able to hit the limits set.
Testing suffers a lot of latency and I'm only able to reach a fraction of
the limit set.

When I remove the wondershaper rules everything works as expected (I can
max my internet connection on both computers).

I've determined Stable and Testing use the same version of
wondershaper=1.1a-10.

Wondershaper has one dependency:

Stable: iproute2=4.20.0-2
Testing: iproute2=5.9.0-1

iproute2 has around 8 dependencies.

At this point I'm confused about how I should proceed with debugging my
issue.

Any advice of how to collect more info for debugging purposes or how to
proceed would be very much appreciated!
At this point, you might be better served by simply switching to
fq_codel, unless you have a particularly odd network connection.

In my /etc/network/interfaces on the firewall:
     up tc qdisc replace dev eth3 root fq_codel

Wondershaper itself changed a lot after the 1.1 version that Debian
packages; you might want to ping the nominal maintainer and see
if they want to upgrade to 1.4.blah -- or, given the
availability of fq_codel, just drop the package.

-dsr-

fq_codel seems to be a good replacement, thanks for the suggestion.

However I decided to try the upstream version of wondershaper and to my surprise it worked perfectly. I then attempted to contact the Debian maintainer about upgrading the package but my email sadly bounced back.

I am interested in getting the latest version of wondershaper into the Debian repos. If the current maintainer is unreachable do you have any ideas on how to proceed?
