Arf, my bad, I didn't see reportbug used "Package" instead of "Source"
because I disabled all my deb-src on this system.

I hope that's not a big issue but I can re-submit if needed.

Bug#983310: libnl3: Upgrade to version 3.5.0

2021-02-22 Thread Matthieu Baerts 
Package: libnl3
Version: 3.5.0
Severity: normal

Dear libnl3 Maintainer,

I just noticed libnl3 on Debian (and Ubuntu) was a bit outdated. The last
upstream version is the v3.5.0 released in 2019 but Debian still has the
previous one (v3.4.0).

This v3.5.0 contains a bunch of fixes and new features:

  https://github.com/thom311/libnl/compare/libnl3_4_0...libnl3_5_0

e.g. the PR #199 avoid crashes.

Is there anything blocking to switch to this version 3.5.0?
Or are you looking for help on this one?

On my side, I manually compiled this new version but I guess it is better if
everybody can easily get it to avoid issues (crashes) and enjoy some new
features.

Cheers,
Matt
