Package: trickle
Version: 1.08+ds-1.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I use trickle in some cron entries to limit the bandwidth of my
backups transmitted via UUCP.  After updating my system from Debian 12
to Debian 13, these existing trickle invocations stopped working.

When the trickle binary is called, it writes "trickle: Could not find
overload object" to stderr and then exits with exit code 1.

I can reproduce this error via the first EXAMPLE from the trickle(1)
manpage:

$ trickle -u 10 -d 20 ncftp
trickle: Could not find overload object
$ echo $?
1

(I actually don't have ncftp installed, but trickle throws the error
 before calling the binary.  I get the same result with other binaries,
 eg. "/usr/bin/uucico" or "curl http://example.com";).


I have found a similar bugreport upstream where a downgrade to trickle
1.07 seems to fix the error:
