[Regression Potential] * The fix is present upstream, so the behaviour will be consistent with the upstream version. * I don't see any potential regression manifestation, as this is a simple bugfix fixing ignoring function return values. [Other Info] Original bug description: This is the same bug as https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=872926 which is fixed upstream by https://github.com/sysstat/sysstat/commit/d40c8ecc530303d7e802617f21a9ac85dbcd68bd Would it be possible to get this patch added?
