Hi!

We've fixed several regressions on the 1.15.x series, and I'd like to
upload a new 1.15.8.11 release targetting squeeze. I'm attaching the
interesting git commits (omitted translations and a revert). Maybe
there will still be additional translation updates before the upload
though. Here's the changelog:


dpkg (1.15.8.11) stable; urgency=low

[ Guillem Jover ]
* Do not segfault on “dpkg -i --no-act�.
* Add missing semicolon to the vsnprintf() compat declaration.
Thanks to Robert Millan. Closes: #612203
* Fix typo in «dpkg-name --overwrite» argument parsing so that it actually
works at all. Thanks to Ivan Gagis <igagis@gmail.com>. LP: #728708
* Fix dpkg-split to not corrupt binary part metadata when generating the
split packages on 32-bit systems.

[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Fix a regression in dpkg-divert where using --rename led to a failure when
the rename implies crossing file systems. Thanks to Durk Strooisma for
spotting it.

[ Updated dpkg translations ]
* German (Sven Joachim).

[ Updated man page translations ]
* German (Helge Kreutzmann). Minor fixe(s).

The git branch for squeeze can be found at:

<http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/squeeze>

Would such upload be fine?

thanks,
guillem

Forgot to mention, that for these two there's functional test cases:

Assuming that the package has been tested in a Squeeze environment,
please go ahead; thanks.

Yes it had been tested on squeeze, but just to make sure, I manually
tested the changes again and run the functional test-suite on a
clean chroot. The packages are being uploaded right now.

thanks,

I've flagged the upload for acceptance at the next dinstall; thanks.
