Package: muffin Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Debian stretch is still using the buggy muffin 3.2.1, and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=877026 says it was fixed only in muffin 3.4 How can I upgrade my Debian stretch to muffin 3.4 or newer? In "testing" there is already a 3.8 - but everywhere I look, I am discouraged to mix -stable and -testing. Is there something like a ...-backports for Debian stretch users? Why not? What can I do now? I have asked here https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/issues/364 and the answer was quite sarcastic: Use Linux Mint instead. But I like my Debian, I just don't want to have my `.xsession-errors` fill up with 3 MB / hour. * What led up to the situation? unplugging my external screen. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? opening an issue for muffin on github * What was the outcome of this action? I was told to install Linux Mint instead. * What outcome did you expect instead? That I am told how to upgrade muffin to a newer version - because the bug was fixed long ago. muffin --version muffin 3.2.1 uname -a Linux Dell13-5378 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u5 (2018-09-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages muffin depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u3 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libclutter-1.0-0 1.26.0+dfsg-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-2+deb9u2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.11-1 ii libmuffin0 3.2.1-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.5-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii muffin-common 3.2.1-2 ii zenity 3.22.0-1+b1 Versions of packages muffin recommends: ii cinnamon-session [x-session-manager] 3.2.0-4 Versions of packages muffin suggests: ii cinnamon-control-center 3.2.1-3 ii xdg-user-dirs 0.15-2+b1 -- no debconf information
