Hello everyone, I am sorry to ask, but... I cannot understand what's the status of [this bug report].
[this bug report]: <https://bugs.debian.org/924712> A serious bug for libc6-dev without any apparent activity since last March? Sure there must have been some hidden progress that I cannot see. I probably do not fully understand the issue: there seems to be a transition going on, from some deprecated crypt() implementation to libxcrypt. And this transition requires some small changes (basically different #include and #define directives) in C code using crypt(), if this code has to be recompiled on buster or later. But these different requirements are not yet documented in the appropriate [man page]. [man page]: <https://manpages.debian.org/buster/manpages-dev/crypt.3.en.html> Is this a decent summary of the situation? If this is the case, should this bug report be reassigned to package manpages-dev and fixed there? Please clarify, thanks for your time and patience! :-) -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! .....................................................
