Hi folks,

This seems like a good candidate for an SRU for Trusty: nethogs is
completely broken by this bug because it crashes at startup.

Attached is a debdiff with a no-change backport from Xenial (nethogs
0.8.1-0.3) to Trusty (currently nethogs 0.8.0-1).

I've tested that the backport solves this bug. I tested both kernels
available on Trusty: the original linux-image-generic (3.13.0-121) and
the linux-image-generic-lts-xenial (4.4.0-83) are both affected by the
bug and fixed by the update to nethogs 0.8.1.

You can also find the backported package in my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~abrody/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=nethogs&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=trusty

I don't really know what I'm doing with the debdiff, so please let me
know if I can make corrections. It seems like the UDD import for nethogs
has been failing for quite some time: http://package-
import.ubuntu.com/status/nethogs.html#2016-02-22 20:07:41.198487


I did test that the debdiff applies cleanly:

$ pull-lp-source nethogs trusty
$ pull-lp-source -d nethogs xenial
$ cd nethogs-0.8.0
$ quilt pop -a
$ patch -p1 < ../trusty-backport.debdiff
$ debuild -S


[Regression potential]

Since the package is already entirely nonfunctional in trusty (as far as
I can tell) the regression potential seems low. The updated version also
has had a long time to be tested in Xenial, and this same upstream
version is available in Debian Jessie backports.
