Package: lastfmsubmitd
Version: 0.35-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Hello.
The lastfmsubmitd daemon does not close its file descriptors after
forking, thus when run from cron (eg. @reboot), it makes the cron
process that invokes it unable to finish. A patch to fix this is
attached.
Cheers,
