In fact... Pabs is "very active" over at Debian-Mentors https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors Rightly or wrongly, it's coming across that a potential fix may be apparent to someone (the original poster?). If so, Debian-Mentors would be one great place to connect up with several very active maintainers to gain guidance on how to submit one's own patch towards fixing a known bug. >> Having that having out of date or missing virus signatures has security >> implications (more for some users that others, I'll grant you), getting >> a handle on these bugs seems quite important. >> >> So what's the proper way to report this issue? > > A bug report. After reading the existing ones. I may not be remembering this quite right(ly), but it SEEMS LIKE the Debian package "reportbug" offers users an on-the-spot opportunity to submit patches pertinent to their reported bug(s).
