I was not aware this was a widespread issue, looks like I searched the wrong way. To clean things up I am closing the binnmu request (647303) since a binNMU would not fix the issue. Further discussion should happen on 647303 (the original report against libtasn1-3). Thanks, cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
