Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.
>I would like to update gputils to the current upstream version. If it's just a question of someone stepping up to maintain it, I would volunteer to do it. I'd suggest you contact the Debian maintainer of this package (see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gputils) regarding when a newer version might be packaged. The normal route is that newer versions of packages are packaged in Debian and then synced automatically to Ubuntu. If that isn't suitable at the time (Debian is currently in a freeze, preparing for their next release, so they might be a bit stricter on allowing newer versions than normally) it is of course also possible to package the newer version in Ubuntu. ** Tags added: upgrade-software-version -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1394296 Title: gputils package is very out-of-date, breaks build of other tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gputils/+bug/1394296/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
