| nhaines | aidian: If you're familiar with the fix itself, you can submit a bug report for 18.04 LTS (bionic) and ask the fix to be applied. Better if you can use bzr to branch the 18.04 source and apply the fix and upload that to Launchpad. (If you know how to apply the fix, I can help with the uploading.) | 01:04 |
| aidian | nhaines: i don't know exactly what they did in their code to fix it | 03:03 |
| aidian | except stop using that particular perl structure | 03:03 |
| aidian | maybe i'll contact the authors and see if they'll consider submitting one of those stable release updates, though | 03:04 |
| aidian | apparently this has been known since 16.04, even | 03:06 |
| aidian | backports would be good too, hm | 03:37 |
| aidian | hmmmm yes | 04:00 |
| aidian | i may have to learn how to at least submit a backport request | 04:00 |
| nhaines | aidian: if it's mostly perl, you might be able to install the 19.04 packages and see if they'll work on 18.04. That might be a stopgap. Virtual machines or Linux containers might be your friend there, just as a scratch surface. :) | 04:06 |
| aidian | i actually did set up a containerized verison for now | 04:11 |
| aidian | the package is not mostly perl, it is only partly perl | 04:11 |
| aidian | the compile dependencies are bearish or i'd have just compiled the latest | 04:11 |
| aidian | i can do, but it's complicated | 04:12 |
| aidian | container isn't ideal either | 04:12 |
| aidian | but it does seem to work tentatively, i'm waiting on input from the actual user to see how it goes | 04:13 |
| aidian | VM isn't really an option either | 04:15 |
