Thanks for the report. I hadn't noticed that because I haven't upgraded my VM that uses it recently and I hadn't realized that the vsyscall kernel change affected this, because I know newer dietlibc versions don't need it anymore, so I hadn't realized I needed to take action. Sorry about that. I'll do a new upload tonight (with some other improvements) that'll also fix this (because it will be rebuilt) and will set the urgency to high so it migrates to testing sooner. Regards, Christian
