Hi,
thanks a lot for the fast reply! Any other choice to avoid that bug
without patching the package? I'm using vanilla Debian/Ubuntu builds
here and like to avoid manual compilation...
Unfortunately, no. You could ask the Debian package maintainers to apply
this trivial patch in the stable packages. Just file a Debian bug report
and see what happens.
Or just rebuild the Debian packages yourself with the patch applied.
1. Download source packages (orig, dsc, and diff files)
2. apt-get build-dep <package>
3. dpkg-source -x <dsc file>
4. cd into directory created by dpkg-source -x
5. do whatever it is you want to the source
6. fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b
