Package: apt-dater-host
Version: 0.8.4-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch
Hi,
this bug is related to SF Bug#3158198 reported by Mathieu PARENT:
apt-dater-host does silently ignore any ABI-incompatible updates (like bind9).
Users of apt-dater might think that their hosts are up to date while they are
missing important security fixes (i.e. recent bind9 updates).
There is a simple patch to solve this issue:
