Currently affect squeeze. They have been solved upstream in point
releases (4.4.2 and 4.4.4). Shouldn't these pesky thing be fixed in
Squeeze as well? Uploading 4.4.4 to squeeze would solve this things
(and 4.6 to unstable and testing)

I'll continue to look, because it seems there are many other bugs
affecting squeeze.

Best regards

Andres

The Gnuplot package has NOT been maintained in nearly a year and half!
I'm dialing up the severity of this bug. Several packages like Octave,
maxima, fityk, etc to name a few depend on this package.




And exactly which part of "makes the package in question unusable or mostly
so, or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to
the accounts of users who use the package" matches your description above?
 Please don't abuse release-critical severities.  Thanks.

Regards,

Adam

Hi, Andres,

Unfortunately, I do not think squeeze security team will approve an
upload for a new upstream version.

If something is a security issue in squeeze and a fix can be backported that
is the way to go. Uploading new upstream versions is only used in very
special cases.

I'll continue to look, because it seems there are many other bugs
affecting squeeze.



I am pretty sure there are other bugs that are fixed by these new
upstream releases. Thanks a lot for looking into this, so they can properly
be closed.

Regards,

Agustin
