Hi Adrian, You are right. I already asked for 12 unblocks in the past (for Jessie, Stretch and Buster). However, jailkit is a program that is a bit complex, with several executables, and I fear for a collateral problem when changing little portions only (is not possible/recommended to send a full/new upstream release now). Please, see a special point of the original message from Jesse Norell: "The jailkit package needs updated to from upstream. In particular there is a bugfix for some python2 code within jk_update which causes it to fail, which has security implications (jails can no longer be updated with package/security updates to the base system)." IMHO, the sentence "In particular" is a bad point in a freeze time because it implies there are several changes that can be dependent on any change. I am including the upstream (Olivier Sessink) in this thread (Cc:) and I would like to ask him: is secure to change only the file jk_update in version 2.21 to the file provided in 2.22? There are only two lines changed in jk_update from 2.22, but I need to know if all source code will work well after these changes. I will wait for a reply to send a patch to Sid and ask for unblock. Thanks in advance Jesse, Adrian and Olivier. Regards, Eriberto
