Since this was fixed in Debian in 11.3.2-1 and Yakkety has 11.3.3-1, marking Fix Released to reflect Yakkety and adding a task for Xenial.
TheSeal, thank you for providing this patch and subscribing ~ubuntu- sponsors. The patch itself looks good but we need a little more paperwork for updates to stable releases to reduce regression risk to users. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure. In particular, the patch should target xenial, should refer to this bug so that it auto-closes, and the SRU paperwork needs to be added to this bug. Are you interested in fixing this up? If not, I'd like to pass this bug to someone else as it's a good candidate to help prospective developers become familiar with the SRU process. ** Also affects: sysstat (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: sysstat (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: sysstat (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: sysstat (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released ** Tags added: bitesize -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
