bwm-ng: Changing input method causes program to quit

[AZ]

When changing input method the program exists with a non-zero exit
status (1) with the message:

libstatgrab error!

I'm running
ii bwm-ng 0.6-3.1ubuntu2 amd64 small and simple console-based bandwidth monitor
on ubuntu trusty.

This is the same as
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=746014

Upstream fixed this with
https://github.com/vgropp/bwm-ng/commit/20c51f46720dbf329e0ec46654d55b2e4d696a8a

which would also apply to the ubuntu package.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Happening on Xenial...

What is needed to get this fix into xenial?

[Samuel Henrique (samueloph)]

Hi, I'm the new bwm-ng Debian maintainer and i'm preparing the packaging of 0.6.1 right now, which contains this fix.

Could this new release 0.6.1 enter Xenial? If not, what can i do to fix this on Xenial? As Yaketty will sync from Debian Unstable and fix the bug.

This bug was fixed in the package bwm-ng - 0.6.1-2

---------------
bwm-ng (0.6.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debian/control: Build-Depends: Remove libstatgrab-dev, no longer default
    upstream, we can now build on hurd and kfreebsd.

That fix has not yet shown up in xenial, so that bug is still present.

[Samuel Henrique (samueloph)]

Yeah, this release needs to be ported to Xenial, i'm not an Ubuntu developer so i'm not sure what is the workflow for this, i can help with anything needed though.
