Bug#966544: snmpd: extend option broken after update
Hi, Well, hopefully LTS can fix this for those of us that are using oldstable (stretch). It almost seems like someone broke production on the oldstable version, then said, "don't worry - we've fixed it on unstable" (a version no one is using in production), then walked away :) Current work around is to either apt-mark snmpd before you upgrade if you haven't already broken it OR to run something like apt install snmpd=5.7.3+dfsg-1.7+deb9u1 libsnmp30=5.7.3+dfsg-1.7+deb9u1 to force the downgrade. Kind regards James Greig
Bug#966544: [Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#966544: snmpd: extend option broken after update
Hi, Though I do appreciate that security should come above everything. I have to agree with everyone else here it seems surprising that it has just been removed like this. We use it in read-only ourselves as well and it has broken a lot of monitoring.

Bug#674142: make it possible to disable ssl compression in apache2
Hi Arno, Thanks for your reply. I appreciate that it's a client side issue and apache is just compensating for this so the efforts are fully appreciated especially with free software. It's just unfortunate that the PCI compliance companies are treating it as a requirement that the servers should compensate for it. Out of interest, you said it is already backported? I'm using squeeze-backports but it hasn't appeared as an update? Am I doing something wrong here? James Greig

Is there any way to get a .deb of this at all or is it purely a waiting game? James Greig
Bug#674142: make it possible to disable ssl compression in apache2
Hi, I second the last message. I have a number of systems failing PCI compliance that run squeeze so would really welcome this patch to debian squeeze even if it's backported. James Greig
