please sync from debian libieee1284 (0.2.10-8)

[Philipp Schlesinger]

According to [1], this fix is critical for libieee1284 to work with new Ubuntu kernels.

libieee1284 (0.2.10-8) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/patches/02_procfs_nlink_zero.dpatch:
     + Added; Remove the nlink > 2 check from the procfs detection routine.
       Newer kernels have nlink = 0 for all directories in procfs (at least
       under /proc/sys).

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Kernel team: can somebody of you please look into this one?

[Tim Gardner (timg-tpi)]

How about attaching a patch?

[Philipp Schlesinger (philipp-sadleder)]

The patch which went into the debian package is attached.

Best regards,

   Philipp

Daniel, what does this have to do with the kernel? The patch that Phillipp is proposing is in an application library.

[Philipp Schlesinger (philipp-sadleder)]

I simply suggested to resync the package with the newest Debian version to get the patch into the Ubuntu version of libieee1284.

Best regards,

   Philipp

Daniel, the patch looks correct to me.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Thanks.
