It was not meant to be rude, I just assumed that you reported some bug in an old Stable version because I seriosly thought that the package was adopted by somebody else many months ago (it was discussed, IIRC), and because hardly anybody reported bugs, i.e. people almost didn't all the time. Sorry. Okay, that said: yes, I am still the maintainer, and the current version in Lenny is broken. I could port changes from a newer upstream version but I think they wouldn't be accepted by the release team since there are a lot of changes. > I am running a pure Testing system.

You can use cloop-utils to uncompress and repack the images to modify your Knoppix filesystem. The only problem is the kernel module, but who cares? Knoppix' boot images include it already. > be better to upgrade the Unstable loop-src to the new upstream version, > which has been needed for over a year now, according to bug #436090. Your years must be different than mine. There were multiple updates for newer kernel versions, the one for for 2.6.26 was released in May 2008. Yes, I neglected to upgrade the package and there is no excuse. > Although I haven't tried this on Unstable, I very much expect it will > produce the same result, since the cloop-src version is the same there, > and so is the kernel version.
