Package: gcstar tag 510685 + patch thanks I compared the current Debian tarball with the upstream tarball for 1.4.3 that reportedly contains the fix and isolated the problem down to lib/gcstar/GCPlugins.pm. A single line change is made in the relevant portion of the module in 1.4.3 and backporting this change to 1.3.2 fixes the issue on my system.
(I was able to reproduce the bug and this patch fixes the bug.)
