FWIW, this is the relevant part of this bugfix:
| diff -Nru libestr-0.1.10/src/string.c libestr-0.1.11/src/string.c
| --- libestr-0.1.10/src/string.c 2014-12-09 11:32:32.0 +0100

And I can confirm that when you apply the current packaging to upstream
0.1.11 it still manages to build its packages (albeit not entirely
lintian clean).
Cheers,

Source: libestr Version: 0.1.10-2.1 Severity: wishlist Hi, the latest upstream version of libestr is 0.1.11 [1] While this version is not mandatory for rsyslog, rsyslog upstream recommends to use this version [2] Regards, Michael [1] http://libestr.adiscon.com/ [2] === Hi. A quick addon note to the release: The new version 0.1.11 of libestr is not mandatory to run rsyslog 8.39.0, but recommended. It contains several bugfixes and AIX support. The packages and RPMs are built to require the new version and will automatically install the required packages. Florian Am Di., 30.
