Package: conky
Version: 1.10.8-1
tags: patch
Dear Maintainers,
Conky will keep an internal list of all seen network interfaces, which
is limited to 64. If the number of these interfaces exceeds this limit,
conky will crash.
While this limit is large enough for most usecases, on a system where
interfaces often appear and disappear (for example by starting
docker-images) conky will eventually run into that limit.
The supplied patch avoids that issue by removing old network interfaces
from the said internal list, once they disappear.
Kind Regards,
Michael Stummvoll
