Which version/package would you like me to test? I see the following versions available: Package: u-boot Version: 2015.10+dfsg1-4 Archive: testing and unstable Package: u-boot Version: 2014.10+dfsg1-5 Archive: stable Package: u-boot-tools Version: 2015.10+dfsg1-4 Archive: testing and unstable Package: u-boot-tools Version: 2014.10+dfsg1-5 Archive: stable I’ll take a look at those bugs later tonight. Enjoy! Rick
