Package: collectd
Version: 5.4.1-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Collectd incorrectly initialises libgcrypt in the plugins using libcurl,
leading to a segfault due to concurrent threads accessing shared
resources. A patch for this issue will be part of upcoming bugfix
release 5.4.2 and can be retrieved at this address:
https://github.com/collectd/collectd/commit/66b400ab01b

I believe it should be included in the package shipped with jessie, as
it prevents collectd from crashing when several libgcrypt-backed plugins
are used together.

Also, this issue was raised but only partly fixed in #735173. The patch
mentioned above fixes it completely.

Thanks !
