Package: collectd
Version: 5.4.1-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
A fix for #687067 is available upstream. I believe it should be included
in the package shipped with jessie, as it prevents collectd from not
emiting any logs at all, including important notifications about
monitoring data which went out of bounds.
The fix consists of two patches, which I've merged together and I'm
attaching the resulting patch here for your convenience.
Thanks !
