Unfortunately, it doesn't really matter whether they wanted it in there or not, the simple fact is that having other software rely on it has effectively made it a part of the public interface which needs to be maintained for backward compatibility. I suspect this is one reason why it will be available in the next upstream release (and is in fact already back in their repository), but as previously stated we have no idea when that's coming.
If this were any other release, I might concur with "fix other stuff", but this is an LTS. If this package has caused a regression, we're stuck with it for _five years_. -- Revert libevent to 1.4.12 - symbol export regression 'event_sigcb' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
