The proposed test would not have caught this problem, because the library is
built separately from apache2, and apache2 had not been updated AFAIK.
The bottom line is that even though it sounds
turns into a situation where a prospective new
packager then needs to figure out how to re-assign the ITP to someone else,
(because hijacking an ITP is just rude) before working through debian-mentors
to get a sponsored upload. This isn't simply theoretical, as a package I've
been slowly
7;ve been using wicd for over two years and never had this problem, but I'm
also running a custom-built kernel (and have been for a long time).
Any idea why wicd would prevent your laptop from suspending? The best first
guess I have is perhaps a bug with the wireless card driver or fi
ve. [I can see how it does from an
administration perspective.]
